Same issue started yesterday afternoon for me. Loaded aircraft for flight but weather stayed at vanilla clear skies 29.92, etc. Waited for 10 minutes = nothing happened. Rechecked my settings to make sure I handed messed something up. Reloaded, rebooted sim, but still no luck. Then suddenly it came back and lasted for the entire flight. But this morning it stays on vanilla. Rex Wx, however, still works.
Serves me right for thinking the Asobo might have the act together - once again a broken feature (which has been broken at least 3 times at various points since release) is broken again…infuriating…
It’s always hard know which it might be when in a new area…
I’m flying in an area which according to the METAR, meteoblue, satellite images, and the MSFS world map is overcast, thunderstorms and rain, and it’s giving me completely clear skies and the temps don’t match METAR.
Is there any other game that is not only so reliant on an online connection, but that doesn’t provide a reliable one? If you’re going to make the core of your game - and regular huge mandatory updates - server based, you better provide decent servers.
We shouldn’t be spending more time troubleshooting and updating than flying.
