Questions about Live Weather options

I don’t really understand the SU1 patch notes but do we have the option now for:

A. real time live weather
B. Past 24 hours with live weather from that moment
C. Any time with current live weather

If so, how would I set up B vs C when starting a flight?

I’m also confused, how do I choose between live weather regardless of time and 24h historical live weather?

I was trying this and it seemed i had same (live) weather when changing time. Not sure how i would go about activating historical weather.
There should be two switches when live weather is enabled. One for live and second for historical. I feel that would be better approach to this.

For B (Historical 24hr) just move the time slider.

For C (Current Live Weather any time) select Custom Weather top left and then tick the Live Weather box on the new window. Adjust the time in the same window as required. I think Preset probably works as well but select Live Wx on the right.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Speedbrake22 ,

I have created that topic for you in the User Support Hub since your support question was not related to the topic you originally posted in.

I will try this. Thanks

I wasn’t sure if that had to go in user support because it is a new feature in SU1 beta.

Are you refereing to that report/request ?: Live Weather is not separate from date that is selected

It is not yet implemented yet in SU1 as explained here: Sim Update 1 Beta (1.3.7.0) Release Notes - January 23, 2025 - #2

Can you tell me how to do ‘Live Weather’ from yesterday at 7pm but using the current time? Is that possible?

No way that I’m aware of.

Seems to be a bit of an edge case but I’m sure you have your reasons. Maybe worth creating a wish list item and see if it gains momentum.

Ah, well, thanks anyway. I don’t think its worth a wishlist item as Ive had more important wishes that they never fulfilled either.

I’ll just sit back and hope it becomes possible as I was sure the whole point was to separate real weather from when it happened.

I believe the two needs they were trying to satisfy was current live weather anytime for VatSim etc where people want to use other real world weather reporting methods and users who could only fly in the evening but wanted to fly in daylight with the weather matching that time. I think some would prefer no limit on the historical weather but 24 hours is a good start.
