it’s not even just a glider issue. It just presents itself as a bigger issue with gliders. 2 pilots in GA flying VFR can’t always fly together either because the clouds will be different
Yes ABSOLUTELY - we glider pilots really try to emphasise the issues we raise really affect EVERYONE in the sim, it’s just we tend to spot things early because we have a really tight community of pilots who fly multiplayer fast close to the ground with common tasks and weather.
For stuff that only affects us (like the MSFS glider variometer code doesn’t work or the 2024 stock towplanes are too weak to launch any of the gliders) we just develop workarounds as we know Asobo have too much stuff on their plate to fix those things.
This thread is definitely in the “it affects everybody” category. Given this is essentially a multiplayer-breaking bug you’d expect this to be flagged as bug-logged reasonably promptly, and hopefully fixed.
Any news on fixes for multiplayer in 24 yet? I’m keen to spend on a bunch of marketplace GA add-ons for 24, but still waiting for GA group flights to be a shared experience.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
•
Yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• There is still random clouds being generated at the start of each session instead of creating standard cloud positions so all multiplayer aircraft can fly in the same weather
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

MSFS2024 as an e-sport platform is severely hampered by this. We could see large glider comps that could potentially attract a lot of new players that might be more interested in air sports. Please prioritize
