ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
In a 1-2 days I see same weather at my location of flight start - Bratislava LZIB. I see pressure, maybe temperature ok but very strange same fog layer with clouds cover around airport. Screenshot added.
Weather:
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
set flight at LZIB (Bratislava) airport.
with set of live weather there shows some fog mass over Bratislava area (quite big) as picture shows.
live weather data are independently loaded, from test, probably.

if I could say some news. I did last night (yesterday evening 22:00 Loc ???) test and this fog cake wasn’t there, good. Now test shows again this fog interesting object again, same structure looks like. Is any chance to know what is this and why it is there? Many thanks…
Is any one competent doing something with this issue? The fog mass is still over area for quite long time and it shows first, prior live weather. It looks to me that they’ve implemented something new with clouds??? or provider weather data??? I see also some new layers on higher altitudes that are fine but what is really this fog mass, it is very strange!
It is looking definitelly something they have added. My observation now (2min ago).
I’ve start my flight at LZIB and Live weather was there with clouds mostly dark. No fog cake there. After 10-15s then all appeared again! So what we really have now??? I remember some issues with complete no live weather in sim and after 10s it appeared but this is just like 2 weathers are working there??? What is also very strange is that during World map aircraft selection and prior start flight, this fog mass wasn’t there.
Edit:
Isn’t this issue very similar to some Topic where user has reported some clouds dark existed, or appeared at time of flight, randomly?
On the world map we can see a fog bubble around LZMC (north of LZIB) and LZIB is within the limit of the bubble. METAR for LZMC reports a visibility of 0.27NM:
Conclusion: when 2 METAR stations are close from each others, it seems that just 1 bubble can be displayed/rendered or is having priority over the other one.
But I still think why it is started to exist only from some time (+/- my report start day) and is still there and with same mass and large size??? Thank you for your time…
There was an issue with the missing fog that has been fixed during the beta: No fog?
So maybe that is why you’ve started to notice it after SU5 was release on April 30th.
Next time you are seeing this issue and LZIB is CAVOK, look at the visibility reported in METAR stations around LZIB.
Now it is more clear that they’ve implemented something (to have something for sure) what definitely brake the sim. What is more interesting, I’ve reported some days ago that I have low visibility (some static miles defined) and thunderstorms without problems. We have 2 things, low visibility and fog, 2 different things. I don’t know, why they believe to some one in Beta and did not correct tests before doing something critical as weather is?
How did you get the incorrect METAR on your 1st screenshot ? (01 is the day so not sure from which month) and how did you get it corrected on the 2nd screenshot ?. Also it would be interesting to get at the same time the METAR from the in sim EFB to check if they match with the one in the Airbus tablet (which aircraft is it ?).
sitting now on LZIB I say again, this fog incorrect mass data appeared as I’ve created my post, quickly noticed that. You can see clearly that LZMC is with wrong Metar data which brake sim. This is what I’m reporting still, it was quite quickly strange to me that some mass appeared at area.
Sry but without your nice investigation, all isn’t clear now, to my opinion
And I’m sure that near Bratislava (one of the most warmer area in Slovakia) also behind hills at Malacky, the snow and temperature under 0 deg C is not now ok, the time and date simply points to wrong weather data for LZMC definitely.
I think this must be quickly fixed because it can affect strangely all sim, on different places, who knows…
But how did you get the 1st incorrect METAR ?, and how did you get the correct one ?, just by reloading the aircraft ?
Also, when you got the incorrect METAR, it would be interesting to see if the METAR in the in sim EFB is also incorrect.
the point is to be able to replicate the issue.
