Weather is a complete catastrophe

Ho Ho Ho,
I actually wanted to see a Christmas New York or Chicago with snow and sunny weather.

I’ve been trying to fly over a snow-covered landscape on a fine winter’s day for hours now, but no matter how you set all sliders to 0, there is always fog, clouds and snowing when the snow is appropriate. I tried several times to set clouds, cloud density precipitation to 0, always the same. Then I tried to choose cloudless sunny weather, plus 30cm of snow and temperatures, what sun do I get it is cold and no snow-covered landscape, no matter what you do it just doesn’t work with the weather setting. Even with live weather and a flight over Alaska, the best snowless weather. Can someone tell me if there is no snow in Alaska this year ?! I guess there is so much snow that you can’t even see trees in reality. It’s just annoying that even things that can be set in the SIM don’t work and you have to waste hours and hours with settings that are not adopted in the end in flight. Have you had the same experience or am I doing something wrong? It should actually be intuitive and based on a certain logic to set the weather, but it is far from it. I have now installed Rex Accu Season and unfortunately that only works if I set the custom weather and select snow, but no chance of simply beautiful cloudless weather with snow-covered landscapes. But the Trees of the Seasons from Rex work and look terrific.

This is weather thread number 200 or so…

I use live weather and have found quite a bit of snow and limited visibilities lately. I normally check real world weather for the US and Canada and then go fly in the area. 2 days ago the Anchorage area and Juneau was snowing pretty hard in the game. Yesterday in Canada Edmonton and the Regina area were also actively snowing which made both runways when on final only come into view at minimums, great fun! So I’m not sure why you can’t find snow and poor visibility is that is what you are looking for.

Just flew from KTEB to Concord NH with live weather. As I descended there was exactly what you are looking for. Bright sunlight and snow covered hills. Beautiful and just what it looks like in real life. I’m in the Beta.

Could someone please merge this with another weather topic? We have way to many of those…

when do we get the beta? So glad they have beta by the way…

Closing to due to many topics on weather. Please use one in #bugs-and-issues:weather or if you are in the beta, report issues in #decupdateflight:pre-release-testing-discussion

Thank you!
