No live weather at all (February 2023)

While sitting here at EGAE, spawned in at 10:22 and no sign of cloud so far at 10:38 I heard a jet come past behind me. An airliner did a high speed taxi (200+ kts) off the runway, speeding across the ramp, through a residential area, and is currently taxing across farmland about a mile away from the airport.

It is now slowly taxiing along the disused runway, at a reasonable speed, and heading back to the ramp, indicating the pilot has regained his composure. Loganair passengers on LOG652 are not happy!

:rofl:

Hi Koenig4416, could you provide the date and time you experience the issue, which regional server you were logged into and what airport? This will help the team resolve the issue users are experience.

Thank you.

After Asobo’s Feb 7 “fix”:

  1. Winds/temps/METAR still inaccurate.

  2. Still no clouds!

Edit:

Nvm METAR is off as well.

Online traffic on or Multiplayer?

That AI speeds looks to me like some network problem, not sync with something.

aaaah ok Online traffic AI, ok in this case no special news.

That was live traffic, real world flight.

I just turned the sim off. About 30 minutes later, with just wind, and no clouds. The in-sim METAR doesn’t match real world either.

If you’re experiencing issues with live weather can you include the following information in your post:

-Screenshot showing the weather
-Metar information
-Regional server information (screenshot)
-Game Version

The information above will speed up the process to address the issues with live weather.

Thank you.

I still have issues with live weather - started a flight from LROP - according to METAR the weather is IFR with 4000m visibility and snow. CAVOK for me, no snow, and METAR from yesterday afternoon. After restarting the game clouds showed up, METAR refreshed but still no snow.

Next airport - EPKK. It is cloudy and snow on the ground. In game the clouds showed up, but there’s green grass and no snow, METAR from 7AM and it’s 12PM right now, so it’s not up to date.

Edit:
1-2mins after take-off the snow showed up over EPKK, METAR is still from 7AM. Server is west Europe. It’s to soon to be sure, but it seems like the clouds disappear after 20-30mins of flight and don’t show up again.

Just for clarity - I did reset the online functionality, restarted the game, restarted my router and did all that I could do on my side :wink:

I have got to work now, will try it again later and post screenshots and other info.

In-sim METAR seems to be 20 hours behind.

Looks like “Services are going back to normal” based off of the Online Services page. So you may still experience issues. However it seems a fix was sent.

If you continue to experience issues, first thing to do is reset your data connection - go to Settings > General > Data and turn off Online Functionality, then save, then back on, then save, then restart the sim. If this does not fix the issue for you, then as others had said, post what you found in this thread. With the guidelines B787Pilot3222 said earlier.

Currently (11:30Z) in LGAV checked the in sim metar. It showed 071550Z. Weather for that time is showing in the sim. But still seems to be a problem with loading current metars.

Still not working on my end here. Wind and baro seem to be fine, but all the clouds and precipitation are missing:

Tested also earlier at LLBG with the same results, but got not screenshot from that.

I’m using the live version of the sim on Steam. Connected to Western Europe server, my ISP is “Deutsche Telekom”.

In-game METAR is wrong.

  1. After loading in, “correct” QNH (after pressing “B”) is unchanged at 1013 (see altitude), although in-game METAR says otherwise:

  1. After turning Live Weather OFF and then back ON, notice altitude change:

  1. After reloading Live Weather and pressing “B”:

  1. Temperature in-game differs from in-game METAR:

  1. Server, though I fail to understand the point of posting this, since this is the multiplayer server, and you can have multiplayer turned off while live weather can still be on:

What do you see at EGAE? Curious as to whether anyone else sees the same as me.

Sure, a couple of flights, same result:
first flight, LEMG at 09:00Z , west europe server. Once on the platform, with live weather on, no clouds (but temperature was ok). After a few minutes clouds appeared (and rain)

second flight, EGKK at 10.00Z, west europe server. Same as before, it took several minutes to load live weather (this time around 10 minutes) although temperature was always ok.
Thanks
Cheers

I tried switching servers which made no difference, but as has been discussed elsewhere its a bit of a black box but my suspicion is all that does is switch the MP server(s) you are connected to, and it probably has no bearing on other infrastructure like streaming scenery servers etc.

The traffic you see changes, but not much else.

If I could share my Online services on/off, never have Online real traffic and also Multiplayer on.


This is what I see as difference now because all is ok at my side looks like. Local OS settings as Daylight saving time settings → Automatic. Time (is correct where I’m) and Time Zone set → manual . Time Zone set as where I live.

No clouds at all today! West Europe.
