Weather stuck in the past

A bit lost for a way forward here. I’ve tried the most obvious things here with no luck.

My weather seems like it is stuck in the past, from about three days ago (which is about when I loaded up the sim for the first time in a long time). See the attached pictures.

The live weather is still depicting thunderstorms in ATL even though it has been clear skies in most of the SE USA for quite a couple of days.

I’ve tried changing servers, loading up with clear skies and then changing it to live weather, a VPN, tried changing MS regions, restarting, checking settings etc.

I’ve submitted a support ticket. Has anybody seen this before?

Sincerely
Shane

Try cycling out and back into your XBox Live account. That sometimes solves intermittent Connectivity or weirdness with XBox Gaming Services (of which Live anything in the sim uses).

3

Still no luck unfortunately. Logged out and back in, same thing.

Now the weather is four days old, I see someone else having the same issue on another thread so I’m following that one as well.

4

Is it globally the same weather or do you still get locally specific weather just that it’s not matching the current real data?

I doubt that you get other weather data streamed than others, the only thing that could be is that your live weather has saved like a global preset.

5

It’s globally the same weather. It’s loading data from the servers, just the data is 4 days old now.

6

If it’s globally, then i doubt that it’s actually loading that from the servers.
Are you sure you didn’t create a preset from live weather that just has the name “Live Weather”? I’ve seen that happening.

7

Certain. Don’t even know how to create presets. And I’m loading the live weather via the live weather option from the World Map. With the button all the way on the left.

Weather stopped on the 16th or 17th of March and after that it was no longer updated.

9

Yup. Strange there has not been any official announcement. Just silence.

10

Same for me. I thought I had messed something up. Maybe they are working on the weather system (fingers crossed).

11

Weather has been updating for me here in SoCal

12

I flew local to my house yesterday ( near KMTN, Maryland)

Bright blue sky outside but low thick cloud at about 2000ft in the sim.

Sometimes it may work, other times it is so far out, it cannot just en Inaccurate, it’s totally incorrect.

13

Well, it’s not “incorrect”. It’s “Live” Weather. It’s not advertised as “Real” Weather. It’s totally accurate to the MeteoBlue weather model. It’s dynamic weather, hence “live”.

14

If it’s live, it should be put out of it’s misery, – may as well replace it with “Random Weather”

15

No, you’re misinterpreting the word “live”. You think “live” = the same as outside IRL. That is not what it means.

Live weather is great. Storms move. Weather conditions change over time without “reloads”. Compare to X-plane default weather to see the alternative.

Granted, Asobo is French and they should probably have used the word “Living” or “Dynamic” instead. But “Live” did better in the marketing research

16

Live in this case of course means that it’s real life weather. They just don’t say it’s up to date to the minute.

If the weather is off and static for a few days, especially if the conditions are globally the same, it’s definitely not right.

Also I’ve seen the sim to be quite close to real life weather and has gotten better to match the METAR. Just ignore the ATIS and ATC though.
I’m using the METAR display in LittleNavMap and it’s pretty close for me.

17

Live weather is also not updating for me. Easiest way to verify is to load into KATL and observe the thunderstorms ongoing for the past few days in the sim, but not in real life.

18

Well live weather is updating for me. Maybe your sim is having trouble connecting to the server or something.

19

Which isn’t the case here. The weather in the sim isn’t even the same as the Meteoblue data externally, nor is it the same as the ATIS in the sim. The ATIS says one thing but the weather visually says another. For example, weather in ATL is full Thunderstorms and low visibility but the ATIS says Few clouds. It’s broken somehow

20

That’s very unfortunate. The immense variance is troubling. There must be some variables that we don’t understand to explain why it seems to work for some people and not for others.
