Incorrect. There is an update that will be beta tested Monday and is scheduled to be released ASAP.
Misinformation is what causes these threads to get out of hand. Asobo is aware of the problem and is scrambling to get it fixed. At the request (demand) of the community they will be running a limited flight test before releasing it.
The alternative is to push through an untested hotfix. If something was not completely fixed or something broke, the forum would be back screaming that they didn’t test before releasing.
Yes, Live Weather is a key component of the sim. The fact that it is having some issues right now does not prevent anyone from flying. Just plan accordingly. That’s what pilots do. Plan the flight according to current restrictions, mitigate the risks and go fly.
If it helps your “immersion”, I am officially releasing a NOTAM;
