Asobo didn’t say anything about when it’ll come, in the Q&A they acted like they did not expect this being an issue altogether.
The snapshot says “Under Investigation” in yesterday’s development update.
But in the Q&A they had a slide with the patching cadence and there they said that after next week’s update there will be the usual rhythm of 4 sim updates per year with the first one in Q1 2025.
Whether or not this issue will be part of the first sim update isn’t even said.
Imho, it’d be best to first disable the historical weather feature for now (just like they disabled marketplace) and only enable it again once they fixed the regression.
The fallback should not be to live with a broken system for months but to revert to what it was before (in 2020) until the new system is properly implemented and tested.
That’s what you do with regressions - if you can’t fix them right away, you revert to the previous behavior to gain time to re-implement the change.
But to act like this you first need to realize how big of a regression that is and Asobo’s reaction did show the opposite. They don’t seem to have understood the importance of this.
There’s literally streames who choose to fly 2020 just because of this issue. And they are the ones that should be doing free advertisement for 2024 by actually enjoying using it.
