Snow Cover or No Snow Cover

When the news presented a severe snow storm in Munich I definitely went to it
It looked like this, very accurate and I loved that

There has been a recent update and now I go to Iceland with live weather and it is like summer

Definitely something is wrong.

Here MFS devs, please just use this map. its not difficult to program this map: canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/ice-forecasts-observations/latest-conditions.html
For god sake.

Yeah devs, just go to that site and right click on the map and hit “program” and boom, it’s in the game! Easy as that!

The problem here isn’t the data provider. Meteoblue shows ice coverage all the way over Hudson Bay. The game just doesn’t render Meteoblue’s data correctly. Either something is broken in the injection of Meteoblue data into Live Weather, or the snow/ice feature itself in game is broken. Sorry, “improved”, according to the dev updates :roll_eyes:.

Can confirm, after update 15, frozen Alpine lakes ok now but not the wrong snow coverage. Conclusion: Meteoblue has not been able to solve the issue. :angry:

Yeah snow depiction is still absolutely terrible.
There’s snow in Innsbruck in sim, simply because it’s Innsbruck and not because there’s ground snow.

And then Bucharest right now… massive snow cover in real life, but not a flake in the simulator.


Would really like a fix as I personally like to fly to destinations specifically for the pretty ground snow, which is never there.

4 years old BUG.
Less than 300 votes.
Look at bugs list during devs streaming…
Simply, people want to fly arcadish/scam planes, usually with a joypad and in chase view.
They are not interested in simulation aspects.
So, why Asobo should fix the meteo problems???

I spend the last weekend in Innsbruck, 15°C.
A lot of people in t-shirt during the day.
Few tracks with artificial snow to skiing.

Thanks Asobo for the quality control on your product.

A plane landing… look Asobo!!!
