Weather is an extremely important part of aviation. There are several issues and problems that need resolution.
MSFS ATIS non-live weather - I rarely use Live Weather relying on the various presets for the environment I want to fly. I always assumed that an airport’s ATIS matches the preset. However, it isn’t close. This needs to be fixed.
MSFS ATIS Live Weather. - This is broken as well. MSFS ATIS needs to match the real ATIS. There is no reason why it shouldn’t.
METEOBLIE - This is awesome technology. If I wanted to build a simulation of the weather around the world, I would use this as a source. It has a lot of good information even for pilots. Does METEOBLUE feed aviation weather information to MSFS? Don’t know.
MSFS missing features - Pilots flying IFR or Commercial need accurate timely AVIATION weather not only for the departure airport but the arrival and alternate airports. This information is not available currently in MSFS. Pilots don’t have the time to take weather information from METEOBLUE or other commercial sources and distill it into the weather information for their flight. The best example of the aviation weather info needed in MSFS is the weather in SimBrief flight reports. Also, SimBrief METAR and TAF matches the IRL airport weather info. MSFS needs to have accurate aviation weather including an accurate ATIS.
