Live Weather Does Not Match

Can someone post an image that show a match of the weather of this METAR? 251650Z AUTO 22005KT 9999 BKN037 05/02 Q1031 updated 26 minutes ago. I don’t really know how it should look like there to be a match to real world weather at that location this METAR is from without looking at webcam photos. I think it’s hard to find a match without knowing exactly how it looks like there IRL by view it with our own eyes. Must be a hard thing to create weather by using this information to match the current real world weather. I wish i had the old dynamic weather back that felt much more believable.

If you click on the arrow it means you don't know how it looks like.

It’s a METAR from Belfast. EGAA. This is a webcam photo 5 minutes ago.

To me it feels like the METAR didn’t match the real condition :thinking:

Those are the latest METAR reprots.

Those are the latest Webcam photos.

Finally after days of blue sky in Manchester, in MSFS it now shows some cloud as it should


Unfortunately though still not depicting correctly elsewhere

If you start the sim, load your flight, and then hit restart flight, does that bring in the correct weather?

Sadly it does not

Well sadly the ticket I opened has been closed.

They have closed it referring back to this thread which they say is on their bug’s and issues list.

The problem being as I see it, this is vague “Does Not Match” . Does not match what ? The problem I raised with them and demonstrated to them was that it did not match the source of the weather i.e. Metroblue, it did not match the METAR and it did not match what I was seeing outside, which incidentally did match what was in Metrobule and what was in the METAR. In my view that actually means its broken, not working at all. They don’t seem to see it this way.

I think we are in for a very long wait before we see any improvement in this.

This specific issue this thread have as OP wrote on the first post. The title for that is live weather does not match. The title of this topic should have been like wind is always 225@3kts. This issue was fixed long time ago and this thread would be marked as fixed. That is the problem. Now they reffer your specific issue to a general duscussion. Not a good way of handle issues in my opinion. And what are those votes on this thread voting for now? The first vote on this thread was probably at around release of this sim. I wonder if that member even is active here anymore.

Snowy in Milford Sound (New Zealand) today, apparently. Even the fjord is frozen solid.

Seems entirely unlikely as it’s the summer there right now, but I went to check on Meteoblue just to be sure: overcast and temps between 13-18 °C predicted today.

i can’t fly with broken weather like this :yawning_face: :thinking: I wonder when xplane12 will be out

At release the wind was stuck at 225@3kts that only was a bug. Only issue i really had with it. Now that is fixed with constant windspeed set at METAR values together with that static visibility. But now everything feels generic instead. :man_shrugging: Two years for 1 fix and 1 improvements in weather with all of those issues we got with it. Was it worth the wait for those things?

Before the sim got released it sounded like this weather we had before su7 especially at release was the main selling point beside the scenery. Why not more improvements and focus on that? After gusts was gone that still is missing i thought that would have been a instant fix.

Yes, I was so happy to left behind METAR based weather. :slightly_smiling_face:
