Agree that we don’t have enough clarity, explainations on how Live Weather engine works and interpret MB data. Just some information from Q&As around SU7 when they explained the major changes they did when they integrate METAR, that’s it since then.
Yesterday LFAC had no METAR reported in the sim but today it does. It says OVC, sim is generating overcast, MB says 40-60% low clouds above the airport and higher cloud coverage toward east . So yes, it is confusing how to understand Live Weather logic.
Today’s rendering is quite good: full overcast in front of the plane and not totally overcast on the side. It matches pretty well MB map forecast. METAR is reporting 3 layers: few, scatter and overcast. In the sim I am just seeing 1 layer that corresponds to the ovecast one. So for me it looks like clouds are coming from MB and not from METAR but who knows for sure.
