Well they said they will have gusts from Meteoblue where gusts not are reported on METAR in su10. That tells me Meteoblue is still in use. But there is different data they can use in the sim. Maybe the cloudlayers are not in use from Meteoblue anymore or a different kind of data than they used before. I know they mentioned more frequent updates from Meteoblue but that also means more frequent transitions in weather and that we can see since su7 right? Those more frequent data is 100 times worse than we had before in my opinion. If something is worse why not just revert to the old data? Same with those fog layers around airports they introduced in su7. Are they happy with those and no more improvements of those? So many questions and so few answeres. And so many things worse after su7 that i thought should be the first real update of weather since release.
Wish they really focus on weather soon. To me that is the most important aspect. Iâm happy they listened and gusts will be back. Hope the complete weather system will be back soon too.
Meteoblue is presumably still used when youâre in areas with no METAR. Where else would the weather data be coming from? Itâs also used for snow coverage.
I donât know, maybe there are other companies than Meteoblue that provide same type of information and for a cost reason or any other reason they could have switched to another provider. For many issues we are making suppositions since we donât have a direct channel to cummunicate with Asobo. Just the Q&A sessions and you need to have your question with a max number of votes in order to be addressed.
Would be nice with an explanation how weather really works. Feels more like a secret. We all should be able to plan for the weather occuring in the sim.
Iâve also noticed the lack of cloud rendering. Here is a screenshot of an arrival into PHNL where PHNL is reporting two FEW cloud layers and a SCT cloud layer and an airport and PHJR, just west of PHNL, is reporting an overcast cloud layer. Yes, live time and weather are ON. Pressure and winds are relatively accurate compared to local METARS, but the clouds are not. No add-ons; default Airbus.
Just wondering if anyone here is in the SU10 beta and has seen any improvements in overcast representation? Iâm not part of it myself but am curious. Thanks.
SU10 and still the sim is unable to render overcast using live weather. Here is KORD just now. Why does Asobo still feel this is acceptable? I just donât get it. And why arenât more people complaining? Anyone can see this isnât overcast!!!
I dont want to say that this doesnt happen. But your pic is showing overcast, with a hole in the sky at your position. Seems there is overcaset everywhere around you. At least from what one can see on the pic.
No sunlight on the ground too, its all in shadow. So it seems that this is mostly overcast.
Well my understanding of overcast is that overcast means a cloud cover of eight eighths. So with overcast is no blue sky or âholesâ. Pre SU7 the sim was capable of producing sky that was overcast from horizon to horizon with no blue sky showing, using live weather. Just like the overcast preset. It looked incredible. Now I never see a totally overcast sky using live weather.
Last year i posted some of those photos, just to compare with su7âŠi was asked to take the down because they were part of a pre release version! So they censured their own product, such is the degradation in the luve weather⊠and of course 0 acknowledgement from the developers who are acting on the live Q&A as if nothing happenedâŠ
