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

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.

It wouldn’t be a waste of time if you and a few others would read and understand the whole opening post and responses rather than jumping to disrespectful conclusions.

There are much more important things to discuss about the world of flight simulation than these few things.

I think you are quite wrong.

It’s not up to you to decide about that, fortunately.

Discrediting someone elses opinion with “a waste of time” is nothing else than disrespectful.
Still you found the time and importance to reply twice to a thread that you think is a waste of time and disrupt a discussion just like a few others did.

FS 2000 was released back in the year 2000 iirc and it’s now 2021 and so it’s been 21 years and I still don’t feel the bumps or get hurt if I land too hard. Please give fix.

thank you…

Exactly this. Just like in real simulators. You need to be able to introduce nasty weather, failures, etc at will in order to train for those scenarios. A commercial simulator would be of no real use if you never got to train flying in complete IMC conditions down to minimums unless you found a place in the world where this was the current conditions.

I like flying with real weather (when it works) most of the time, but occasionally, I’ll set up a flight in complete IMC conditions in order to be able to practice those procedures. This sim would be of greatly lesser value to me if I couldn’t do that.

Not that I’m an actual pilot, but I like being able to recreate these potential real world scenarios, as I do encounter them in sim during my normal flights with live weather.

Right. Versatility is part of a sim

Exactly. I really don’t understand the abolitionist mindset of the OP. It basically boils down to:

“I don’t like this OPTIONAL feature of the sim that I’m in NO WAY OBLIGATED TO USE. Just knowing it’s there ruins realism of the sim for me, even if I don’t use it. So it shouldn’t be there for anyone because I don’t like it.”

There are a lot of genuine issues and complaints people can make about MSFS. This is NOT one of them.

Again, you didn’t read and/or understand the full opening post.
He’s basically talking about having dynamic weather presets for bush trips while currently the Bush Trips need to tell you which weather to set at which point if they don’t want to stick to a simple preset.

Maybe its time to put this post out of it’s Misery —

Thank you Hester40MT

Hi all! Closing this topic as it is going in circles.

If you have not done so, there is a wishlist on this you can up vote:

Thank you!
