Sim incapable of injecting any clouds in Live Weather

Haven’t worked any of these in my case. Only when i use vpn i have clouds. Wind and baro are always correct.

I should note that when I look at my metar its clearly not correct for the airport I am at. I am going to try accuweather again (I just loaded it up after not using it for awhile) and at least I have proper weather and clouds again…

Maybe something silly to check, but do you have flightsimulator.exe enabled in your Windows firewall settings ?

LOL and a OMG…I was playing around with firewall settings and thought about changing those yesterday (I actually have multiple flightsimulator.exe settings in MS firewall). I tried turning off the firewall just to try but that didnt do anything - turned back on. I was going to try what you suggested next and I changed and checked on the Private settings boxes on all of them and presto - I seem to have clouds (more specifically I have the metar from the local airport again). I have been fooled a bit the last day but I just went in 2 times and it was there.

This was clearly a change by Asobo/MS after the last patch - there is no way I changed that or set that in anyway…so yeah this wasnt something I did or changed and is on Asobo/MS in this case.

Great that it works and let’s see if it is stable the next few days. FYI, I also had many flightsimulator.exe in that firewall list of applications, I just let one and deleted all the other ones. I think that when MSFS is updated to a new version it automatically add a new .exe file to the list but it is not mandatory to keep all of them.

Ok guys I think I found (again) a workaround that works…
VPN is the solution, until Asobo fixes that… Now I have clouds.

OK, I would try the firewall workaround too. I can confirm, weather not matching Meteoblue at all.

No clouds for me still. Will confirm the firewall workaround.

Where are you located ?, Greek people have reported an issue with their ISP (internet service provider) Unable to load live weather
Live weather not available for Greek users

Since I adjusted my firewall settings I have not had any issues with clouds in the sim…I am not in greece so thats not an issue for me.

My firewall has MSFS as an exception, but still clouds are not as per Meteoblue.

take a look at my post, this solved no clouds with live weather for me. Hope this helps.
