Did 6 or so hours of flying this weekend, and live weather has had its ups and downs. While it’s great having accurate METAR data the way the weather engine injects clouds are just a nightmare and I’m constantly getting IMC conditions when nothing of the sort should exist.
Today while flying down the gulf coast of Florida there were forecasted rain showers, but with cloud bases of 10,000 ft. I got the realistic rain depicted but clouds with a ceiling of a thousand feet or less and 1-mile visibility. Seems like if the weather engine sees rain, then it instantly means clouds to the surface. In these cases, I sadly need to switch to REX and completely lose the rain but get vaguely correct clouds with all the other downsides.
Also, winds aloft are very hit and miss, and abrupt mid-flight wind direction and pressure changes are frustrating.
