Has anyone else noticed that the Live weather is just completely wrong? There seems to be something not right with the data being injected.
For example the South of the UK is covered in cloud, it shows cloud on world map and the weather ‘box’ in the top right shows as overcast when selecting one of these airports, but then when loaded in it’s like it’s injecting the wrong data.
Has anyone else experienced this recently? It seems to be worse for me in the UK in the evenings where for about a week now it’s as if the data being injected is old or not current?
Have reported in bug forum but also thought it’d be a good one for discussion to see if other users have noticed this too?
What does the main menu weather map and/or an in-sim, zoomed out/high-altitude shot show? Last week, a similar post showed the main menu weather depiction to be about 24 hours behind in that area.
The in-map shot does actually show the cloud cover on the map and the flight conditions box in the top right also suggests it knows it should be overcast:
It is now showing more cloud than previously about 30 mins ago. This area around the airport and to the horizon was largely clear skies about 30-45 minutes ago, and it just had some clouds scattered about.
Seems like it is injecting some data, just not the correct data?
There is definitely a data injection bug going on.
Can see it at EGCC/MAN this past hour, should be overcast and rainy there, which it was when I loaded in at 13:45z, but then 15 mins later it changed and reverted back to being incorrect again.
As I’ve seen your post beforehand I had an eye on the Live weather situation on my flight EDDH-GCTS today (well- occasionally, as most of the time I did let the FMS do it’s thing while taking advantage of the sun outside), and it seemed the data were present whenever I looked.
Here’s south England with the usual vapor instead of real clouds, probably representing the rainy area visible in the Navigraph overlay:
The usual underwhelming representation, but the data seemed to be accurate on my side. Departure and arrival were plausible as well. Will keep an eye on the situation though.
Cheers
It’s now showing all clear skies over that area of the UK for me, same time as it does every day for the past week, even though world map and all other sources show it should be cloudy
Yep, same here, definitely not what I would expect. Flight conditions were advertised as rainy as well. Same cloud formation in the distance, it seems…
Can confirm the obseravtion, as I tested EGGC which showed clear skies where there should be rainshowers in the vicinity. Afterwards I checked EGGP, which should show two cloud layers (well, we know MSFS isn’t capable of that, but some clouds were to be expected):
