Realism in this Sim... What about " Change the Weather and Day Time" whenever you want , wherever you are?

Yes that would be indeed a nice expansion!!
The option to create a weather script.

Something for on the wishlist!!

I think the title of this thread is misleading then, if the main thing you’re worried about is the missing configurable weather transition in the bush trips.

That’s also why many reply it to be a silly topic since the basic assumption that changing weather and daytime is not unrealistic for a simulator and totally optional.

I agree - you shouldn’t be able to do anything in the sim that you can’t do IN REAL LIFE! e.g. Change the weather, compress time to shorten flight time, jump to a different position without actually flying there, flying without owning, renting, borrowing or stealing an actual (real) plane, not getting stuck in traffic on the way to airport, surviving an horrific crash without a scratch, flying without the appropriate licence/clearances and not being arrested, turning off airframe stress damage…etc.

While ever we can do these things that are not possible in real life, there is no realism!

There’s an easy solution for this problem - don’t change your weather. Keep it on Live Players and never move it. Problem solved. You then never have to deal with that pesky temptation and lack of self-control to change the weather mid-flight.

For the ones who are interested, I’ve made a new wishlist topic according to the discussion above.

Voting can take place.

Kind regards

Or an option to record the weather. I’ve had amazing flights with live weather which can never be replicated since it’s due to the specific weather conditions at the time. However it also makes those flights more special, knowing they’re pretty much once in a lifetime experiences. The clouds will never be in the same place again etc.

What would be extremely helpful is have the server record the last 24h or maybe even last week of weather so if you change the time with live weather, the weather changes along to what it was at that time. Perhaps it can use weather forecasts for moving time into the future. It would be cool to see a storm come and go while setting the camera down somewhere and crank up the sim rate.

As far as I know that is already the case.
I can be wrong though as I haven’t tested this myself, but if you change the date and time I think you can experience the weather it was at that given time.
But my guess was wrong.

I did a search and this came out as a result.

I think this is pretty much what you and I think many others would like to see.
I already voted😉

The fact that this is a simulator is the exact reason why it SHOULD be possible to instantly change all parameters.
I don’t get your point.

It’s a “SIMULATOR” !!!

A machine with a similar set of controls designed to provide a realistic imitation of the operation of a vehicle, aircraft, or other complex system, used for training purposes.

The whole point is to be able to change parameters, to simulate different aspects of flying, for Training (or Entertainment) purposes.

Its NOT the REAL WORLD … If it were, you most likely would not be flying in it in the first place,

Yes , that too… but also the main thing is too ( sorry for my bad english…) that such a great Simulator should give the option to preset a weather that will be in as the autor ( you or others …) make the Mission Fun , Beauty, Great or terrifing thrilling because of the Landscape , Terrain and
THE WEATHER in this Flight to FLY … without needing the autor or you telling ( “in a read me first” , download game site)what weather you need to do as preset of this mission. Like it happens on all Missions you can buy or download . The preset Weather Setting option in Mission editing so as downloading or buying has still bugs , dont really work… and only Rex Weather at least gives you 5 DYnamicWether CHange Presets…at least …

Camon Flying Pilots WEATHER is main thing with flying All lot of" weather " is done in this SIM as in none off all other probably but still…
the decisions about weather , at least in my Flying Carrer has often decided about Live or Die… but as my teacher used to say…
" Sometimes is better to stay down with a cold beer looking at the sky , than beeing Up there thinking… Hou…! Today i probably would rather better be down there … drinking a cold beer…

WEATHER as the second challenge so as to LAND the f… small , the wind coming really wrong from the bad side , lost all my fuel trying to find this "stringTangaAirstrip… ! :wink: :slight_smile:
You , I who ever liks to have fun making a server or offering Download at the server this kind of mission what ever with the challenge to Take off there , Land there save again , I know on “MultiPlayer” the weather you can use forces you to “live Weather” … but iam talking more like it is in IL2 Sturmovik giving to join, download or programm the weather you will be in… and have this really well but only had the problem a bit to make it dynamic and changing inside the WeatherPreset …

This community is seriously insane… You guys are complaining about having options and flexibility…

Better ask yourself if you have read the whole postings of the TO or read just the title and jumped to conclusions like seemingly many here did.
There is a real point he makes, just hidden under a misleading thread title.
Hint: Someone of this “seriously insane” community even posted a link to a wishlist thread summarizing the issue.

You better read it again.

I did. I read that he wants the OPTION to set a fixed time/weather to a mission. Which is fine. But bashing the idea of people flying using their OWN weather or time as if it’s sacrilege is nonsense. This flightsimmer ego ■■■■ needs to go.

I understand implementing a challenge, I understand that weather is a challenge. But this constant ego trip in this forum is nonsense. There are plenty of new people to the hobby, quit acting all high and mighty. Users that dont want to fly a certain way dont have to, they can fly any way they want. It doesnt have to be “realistic” to ve acceptable. Do what you want but dont beat others over the head for it.

A few years back, in a flight school program that was integrated into my HS - there was this kid who constantly boasted about how he knew everything about boeing airliners, he blabermouthed about his flightsim setup and how he had PMDG planes. Dude was the biggest snob there was. He thought he was a god among mortals. Now I see where this sort of behavior come from.

If you dont want to keep catching flak, maybe upload the thread with less egotistical and inflammatory remarks. Maybe open up a wishlist post and call it “request to lock time/wx for missions” and leave it at that. You can want for more realism and challenge without belittling those “beneath” you.

hmm… i thonk more are really not getting really about what it is about…

Bush Missions offered or if you make them are “buggy” concerning the weather , you set and when you , fail, switch off, disconnect what ever … you have to delete , and copy paste … in your app , roaming data, etc and change the files , it goes in you “autosave” … and so on …

… those here who know about this know for what i am talking about … ;

for example Idaho Bush Trips but also too Norveigan, chile , whatever but also all others

You can set whatever you want at first , but once failed , disconnected whatever… you get stuck in the last weather or some what is saved in yout app/ roaming / DAta …

You stay in the weather you CANT CHANGE IT … you have to close MSFS , go into youtr PC , change files, copy paste … Launch MSFS again… and hope you can change the weather or you will get stuck in this all 68 Legs still to come in Idaho or stay the whole 10 Days Bush Mission in Alaskan Deep Snow Fog Low Clouds

At this point complaining just to complain is ridiculous. Really a pointless complaint about an ability to change weather and time?! It’s a great option for several reasons but you never have to use it if you want to maintain 100% realism. Go get a snickers bar.

… hey, hey hey… read what i am talking about and then , dont start shouting too loud…

I think it’s partially your way of phrasing the opening post and the thread title.
Something like “I want to provide predefined changing weather conditions in Bush Trips” wouldn’t have led to so many responses discrediting the question.

That being said, I’m pretty baffled about how some of the community react, clearly showing they didn’t read the whole opening post and disrespectfully discharging you from your opinion.
I think that’s a new low :frowning:

It seems that someone did not like my words, and I have not used bad ones.
I’ll say it another way.
How is it possible for the sake of realism to ask to eliminate options that are in all simulators since the software allowed that possibility?

Realism is being confused with “real time”

This is a real waste of time.
