Can this be acknowledged by someone soon pls this is 100% repeatable. Have the devs removed live weather to improve performance? If so we are at the consoles limits and then some which is really disappointing

I dont think so… this is one of those typical bugs that are introduced with a new SU due to lack of intense enough testing.

Confirming. Missions with Live Weather and Real-Time have completely disappeared from the Career mode after the update. Most missions just show “unkn” status.

All Missions in career mode have now clear sky with some minimal clouds, no wind and generic unlimited visibility mode ON…. breaking all the immersion that career had going on i think… i just can hope they fix this ASAP.

Career mode needs a whole SU Beta to itself. It’s a huge part of what makes 2024 attractive and so little attention.

I’ve gotten this warning since SU5 released:

So I am not alone then? I have the same issues too and am dissappointed with it. I sure hope they come back and fix career mode with live weather again Make a patch to fix this until SU6 comes out. I guess I will just do freeflight with live conditions until career is fixed. It’s a shame though because I took off the other day in clear weather and went into thunderstorms on my route. Very exciting to say the least!

Never got this message… but the problem affects career mode only.

I’d like to clarify a few things regarding the current issues specifically in Career Mode:

  • Live Weather/Real-Time: I’ve noticed that Live conditions started appearing occasionally, but ONLY for standard Passenger flights and ONLY during the day.

  • VIP & Other Categories: Still no Live conditions at all in Career. Everything shows “unkn” or default status, day or night.

  • Traffic is completely dead after the update: Neither the built-in Live Traffic, nor AI Offline traffic, nor third-party tools like FSLTL are working. FSLTL is stuck in “Static-only mode”, confirming there is zero airborne traffic injection in Career. It worked perfectly fine before the update, but now the sky is empty regardless of the settings.

Just sharing my observations — the update basically broke the atmosphere and progression in Career Mode.

Some missions do have weather. I had 1 yesterday, don’t know if it was live or historical but 99% don’t.

Traffic also works fine on mine I’ve just left egll there and I actually had to sit and hold short waiting for other aircraft who were there first to go onto the runway and take off so that’s better

There has to be more then 15 people with this issue

Could a dev atleast tell us this is under review or anything ?

Exactly. Many people are facing this, but not everyone takes the time to report or vote. We need more activity here to push this to the devs’ priority list. Even if they are aware, the number of votes is what usually triggers a ‘Bug-Logged’ status. The more noise we make, the faster it gets fixed.

I think they’ll be aware personally as It has to be a data link bug between career and live data

Hopfully someone can confirm that know about it

In the “golden” heavy Cargo Mission from UK Liverpool to south France i had live weather. But only there. Also possible that it is was only preset weather

To be fair I done the 2 golden missions for heavy and over sized. The weather could have been them looks like after this flight I’ll put the sim away again until it’s sorted. I don’t really fly free flight as I do like having something to work towards

I spent a lot of time on 2020 and I’m starting to fall out of love with flight simulators due to how many bugs are in this game it’s one thing after another with it and they clearly don’t listen to what people want, disappointing.

The clear skies and No wind make everything boring af

It’s becoming painfully obvious that the Beta testing for this update was purely superficial. It feels like the testers only checked if the ‘picture’ looks good and the FPS is stable, completely ignoring the core functional mechanics of Career Mode.

How can an update pass QA when the primary world-building elements — Live Weather and Traffic — are broken for 90% of missions? It’s as if the development is fragmented into isolated silos: one team fixes the engine, but nobody checks if the wheels are still attached to the car. We’re not playing a ‘World Simulation’ anymore; we’re flying in a sterile, dead vacuum. We need more than just ‘performance’ — we need a functioning, living environment that was promised.

At least they fixed the awful stuttering in SU4. I simply dont understand how a broken live weather implemention in career can Go Live into an Update.
