Yes, hope that they can make the weather concisten soon.
METAR incorrectly depicted, the 3 clouds layers reported are missing:
Restarting the flight I am now seeing some clouds but looks like just 1 layer or maybe 2 having the feeling they are grouped together :
Another airport, light rain ok, but scattered 2200 not correctly shown, it is more overcast. I hope
Devs are looking at those kind of issues and have them fixed in SU10
The last picture is a good example of METAR’s inability to describe weather. Reporting rain with just one layer of SCT is strange. Anything but wind and pressure from especially the AUTO METAR should be ignored.
I wish we could choose to skip everything from METAR 
That’s what I meant - in EDDH METAR was also CAVOK (according to METAR) but after checking the weather map and webcam the SIM was “right” - maybe in your case it wasn’t scattered at all but just another weather which was right - maybe they start to take additional sources here which is actually not bad - or is it a pure coincidence. Theoretically the METAR value (also IRL) has changed afterwards also in the SIM - to what I saw above all without “transition” - improvement or coincidence or just coincidental agreement with METEOBLUE forecast - “maybe exactly there lies somewhere the dog buried”.
No idea !
You can compare the weather you see on the Meteoblue page too. We often just show the METAR but Meteoblue forecast is equally important to show right? I need to learn do that as well
Should be clear with haze around this airport when i check Meteoblue, Checking METAR it’s good visibility. Here it looks more like it matches METAR. So when can we expect it to match METAR or Meteoblue? That question i would like them to answere
I must say the clouds looks so much better for me now though but clouds near the aircraft seems to dissapear. Really transparant.
When showing Meteoblue forecast, you also need to take in account the issue Live weather data issue - weather is 48+ hours old.
So data injected in FS2020 are not necessarily the ones at that moment as per forecasted by Meteoblue, they can be from yesterday or 2 days ago.
Yes, for sure. But issues like that has been in the sim since release. If they fixed issues like that most of the issues METAR doesn’t match would have been fixed by it self.
Devs should provide us a “switch”, and have 2 servers for weather. Simmers like me, who don’t bother about METAR should have the option to switch to previous weather system.
Those who wish to live with METAR(I consider it Beta, even though it is not!) be allowed to use so.
Everybody happy.
Today I had also not correct weather, looks like postponed about 1-2 hr?
Thnx to that we have METAR correctly functional, wind, temp and pressure was ok +/- set so if that METAR wasn’t correct, also other values are probably way out of actual situation and this is one important thing what I can’t imagine.
But as i said, if they focused on fixing the servers we would have more accurate weather without implementation of low detailed METAR-reports. Forecasts is much more accurate than it is shown in the sim. If forecasts were as inaccurate as they are in the sim, forecasts would be useless for real weather. The weather we see in the sim is not even accurate to the forecasts and we should have forecasted weather in the sim that comes from Meteoblue. Where is that weather? I mostly just see people compare the weather with METAR-reports. Why? If all of us here compared the weather with Meteoblue all of us would know it’s faulty servers that sends incorrect data to the sim.
Ok, understand your thoughts but,
if I good remember times with no implemented METAR, there was more problems as I said before, no correct winds, no correct pressure and etc, hope I good remember. It’s simply not usable to have not correct weather and also local situation weather. I remember that times as not usable fully, at Vatsim I need fly with clear weather because in principle local places didn’t correspond to reality. Hope I remember that well and I don’t want that all depends to Vatsim needs, no fully, why is Live weather to me if i don’t have local places without correct actual +/- data?
Update: I think about you said about forecats, hmmmmm, I have idea that if around lets say weather is postponed about some time it is no big problem to me because weather system theoretically is moving and I can understand that isn’t possible to have absolutelly correct weather at time as is in reality, simply there are many formations of clouds and other things how yhey look at reality. What is in this case very important is to have correct data +/- at local places around airports in my opinion. Blending in this case is not so heavy important because if you look at one time to cloud formation outside window in reality, it changes after while to maybe more other pieces that doesn’t look as before. We need to be probably more in middle like say with expectations about real weather.
Exactly, because servers was sending incorrect data. METAR winds, pressure and temp has been in the sim since around November 2020 because the servers was sending 225@3kts winds all over the world. How many forecasts predicts those winds all over the world at the same time?
I only wish they get back to the roots with the weather system they had and improve on that. As it is now it feels more like old FSX weather to me. I want it to feel dynamic and unique evertime i fly. At release i found the weather amazing! Weather never looks exactly the same all the time and that feel MSFS weather had at release. After su7 It’s completely the opposite. And those tranitions is the absolutely worst part about it. Can have overcast and next second clear sky. Never even seen that in FSX or any other sim.
So we are divided between realistic looking weather, and unrealistic looking and changing, but METAR-realistic weather on take-off and landings…hmm…interesting!
You probably somehow missunderstand that,
that METARs do not realistic weather but hope inject realistic data as wind and pressure (hope). METAR isn’t changed every minute so saying METAR realistic weather is wrong. But! we have not any other choice how to improve local airports correct data in case that MeteoBlue data are old or incorrect. Good we have that METAR to improve that places little bit as they need to be and all pilots can share same conditions in this case. If METAR do correct weather then hard to say how long because data can change place to place, also not full layer data, maybe an hour cycle? If I can say that temp, pressure and wind if change about lets say half houre cycle isn’t so bad because weather can change maybe very quickly due very different weather change what can be taking to account in lets say hour interval. Hope, I see this system now like this. I dodn’t know logically if this is also real system of sim.
Not really, the weather doesn’t even match the METAR it is supposed to do.
The METAR system has no benefits, it has ruined the visual look of the weather and it provides no accuracy, it’s serves no purpose whatsoever.
At the moment there isn’t a single advantage of using the new METAR system. It should be scrapped until it works.
If they said they reverting back the weather to pre su7 and an overhaul of faulty servers in su10 i would have been more happy and excited than with those announced thin/thick layers. What will that help? Make thin low cloud layers instead all over the world all the time? It for sure will not decrease sudden transitions and that static fog layer around airports that can appear from nowhere and removal of METAR bubbles.
For me, I don’t care to have in FS2020 the live weather as the one outside of my window or as from a real world METAR. Even if the weather is a couple of hours late or even if it is not the exact same real live weather that occurred, what matters me is to have a realistic weather system with a variety of clouds, layers, front systems, smooth transitions using all data coming from Meteoblue that they successfully implemented at launch, It was so impressive !!!. With some points to improve as always.
Agree, we will never have that i can say for sure. It’s impossible. And have the weather stay like METAR says for 30minutes is not realistic/accurate either. If they use both METAR and Meteoblue they need it to feel believable/realistic/dynamic all the time. Not feel forced in place as it does now. They should blend in METAR in Meteoblue weather. Not blend in Meteoblue weather in METAR. Thats how i feel it now with generic weather everywhere.
Yes, agree. And if technically possible, they should create METARs based on Meteoblue infromation, so this will resolve the bubbles issues.
