no
Note: I am based in North America and connected to the servers of that region

Provide your location and time (UTC):

EGPF is showing overcast and thick clouds
maybe the issue is due to the ongoing UK Azure servers issue affecting only UK based users ?

Yes I’m wondering also if it could be linked to the ongoing azure issues for UK users.

I did try connecting earlier to North America using a VPN service and then loaded the sim, but still encountered the same issues as reported above.

I’m not sure if connecting to a different location via VPN should allow to connect to different azure servers though?

Either way interesting to see your results, thanks for reporting :slight_smile:

I will load up now and try EGPF as I am based in the UK, will post my results shortly.

@DementedCorn327 I confirm this time I see the same as you at EGPF…

The higher Meteoblue cloud data which was missing is back again:

The same happened yesterday evening and it was like the data came back but then after a short time, it stopped working again

I also tested a bit further North of Glasgow just a location which showed high cloud cover on the world map which when I checked around 30 minutes ago was missing the cloud in-game and it’s also back in this location (did get the low bandwidth message though)



So it seems at times the data is there and it’'s correct, it’s just hard to pinpoint when it’s getting it right (about 10% of the time) and the reasons why when it doesn’t (90%)

(?)

Provide your location and time (UTC):

EGPF: if it weren’t for the clouds on the horizon, I’d say YES, but SOME data are obviously injected.
EGPH: although the actual METAR is displayed, the injected weather seems more in line with the expired report from before
EGTK seems reasonable.
Note that I’m located in Germany, not in the UK, so maybe I’m using a different Server?

EGPF 1600z, yep the issue is still present, EGPF can see that for me in comparison with the post above, it’s a different situation with the clouds…
