Why Live Weather, how about Historical Weather?

Obviously there is a lot that goes into live weather, and predicting what is going to happen is always going to be impossible, as it is weather. So why not historical weather for the past week, or year. Go to a date, load it up, and then you have the most accurate weather you can have because we know what happened.

Want to check out what it was like when Eta made land fall in central america? load up that date and time, and boom, we have a more accurate version of what happened because all the data is there.

Just seems odd that everyone is always focused on Live, when Historical would be more accurate and in my mind a better option.

I almost always used historic weather back in FSX with Active Sky since I usually only have time to fly in the later afternoon and evenings, I always used it to fly during more realistic hours.

But with live weather being bugged sometimes you can figure out that the current weather is 8 hours old, so, that’s kind of historic. :thinking: I don’t know if it’s ever going to be on the cards, but let them figure out how to get the current weather working before worrying about historic weather.
