I flew a red dot mission, supposed to be live weather. Currently having 65 kts winds although real metar shows 14 kts. It seems real weather is bugged. Also any of the metar options on the EFB do not work. In fact many features do not6 work on the EFB including navigraph.

Same issue here.
I played many missions in many countries/areas, but always the same issue: extreme turbulence and the plane is uncontrollable.
I tried different things to get rid of this, but Asobo (Microsoft) needs to fix this issue.

Moderator Edit:
Probably career missions that are not with the weather in real time are scripted, it may be that the problem is that there seems to be a 0 too many in the calculation of the wind knots that the simulator follows, for example if there is actually the data that indicates for example wind 8 knots the sim puts it at 80, Maybe thatâs why?
Probabilmente missioni carriera che non sono con il meteo in tempo reale sono scriptate, può essere che il problema sia che sembra ci sia uno 0 di troppo nel calcolo dei nodi del vento che il simulatore segue, ad esempio se in realtĂ câè il dato che indica per esempio vento 8 nodi il sim lo mette a 80, forse è per questo?
Okay i fly now a company route (freelance)
There is not a red dot but the metar on that time is the same. ATIS in the simulator say the same as the metar.
see the screenshot.
so it seems that it captures the real weather from the time of the mission.
Other than that I donât know anymore ><
Update:
And when i see a red dot on the map, than is the time the same as my local time.
Other example:
QH same as the metar
My Certifications:
My conclusion so far:
If there is a red dot: real weather and time.
If there is no red dot: history weather of the past 24 hours with the time of that mission.
I think the developers should explain better how this works exactly.

Yes, thatâs right, thereâs a bug in there, but please donât report that âthe real weatherâ is buggy or somthing like that !
Because thatâs not true - in free flight the weather is very accurate and exactly on point - from the look and from the values - finally as it should be - not that Asobo makes the same mistake as with the MSFS and actually changes something that works correctly because there is too much wind for someone for the Cessna (if it is also like that in real, e.g. 45 knots !!!).
I am aware of the problem and it is good that you point out this bug but just wanted to say that !
I am just indicating with this information that there is not really a bug. It is of course your own choice to fly a cessna in this kind of wind.
What i am saying: that the developers should be clearer about how exactly the weather in career works. personally i think this works well.
And the live weather just works perfectly.
Iâm going to go out on a limb and say it doesnât. Every social space is flooded with reports it isnât working correctly. We have 2020 to fall back on so we are all familiar with weather in this sim.
I have personally checked the METAR data on several of my flights and the weather is insane in the sim compared to real life. Itâs great you enjoy what is present, but you appear to be an extreme minority in this case. The overwhelming majority claim there is an issue, so I am going to say this is not working as intended.
If you want to carry on, please record the wind data of your next 10 flights. Look at METAR data online for the airports, then record your wind in game. NOT in the UI, actually in game. The Mission UI is completely bugged and is completely disconnected from the actual in game (another bug).
Honestly, proving this is a bug is as simple as flying around the same airport in free flight and having the live weather be fine. Iâm boggled how anyone could think itâs not an issue lol.
The turbulence are sometimes crazy, I would say unflyable for an average pilot in the real world, sometimes it almost whirls you around in the air. I also noticed sometime when you turn on the autopilot the turbulence vanish and they come back when you turn off the autopilot.
In german we would say you become the âSpielball der lĂźfteâ.
special for you on this flight
time is a bit tricky to get exactly and the place too but this comes close

I meant fly a low wind area IRL. Obviously if there is a bug presenting itself is high wind, flying in high wind IRL will present itself as being accurate when itâs not.
I would respectfully ask you fly around an airport with low winds and see how that compares in the sim (career mode). The claim is the wind is essentially world wide in career mode.
What you have said there is that the weather is accurate because the insane wind bug is accurate when you fly around areas with insane wind IRL. Which, to your credit at least makes career mode accurate for that flight lol.
I also appreciate you collecting data because it may help us track down the source of the bug, or be more specific with it. I will also start screenshotting data on my end.
For instance, it could be the case weâre all wrong, and the wind ends up being accurate but turbulence is overtuned or something. Data will set us free!

Your discussion resembles to the chicken or egg problem. But in my opinon it does not really matter, becaues the result is the same.
Today I flew in Germany and had 70 kts crosswind, real metar showed 15 kts. In fact the wind was that strong on the weekend. I guess the problem is that MSFS2024 took an outdated Metar and together with the exagerrated turb settings (even at 10 kts wind) you have a recipe for disaster.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OPâs steps to reproduce it?
⢠I noticed the same. Since missions wont work with live weather turned off, the weather simulated especially on the ground are way above normal. I also checked actual airport weather reports and winds, they are much lower then what is simulated.

Update
Live Weather avoidance
Since missions need live weather (sucks currently in Europe), you can deactivate the âlive Weatherâ setting in the -(>General Settings â Online Tab) once the mission briefing is loaded, but do it before you actually start the mission. This will gives you for once a nice an quiet flight. Just donât forget to activate it again before want to choose the next mission.
(But no bad weather bonus / or use a plane that can fly above. But then you still have to land with up to 20kts from the side

Currently flying at a bearing of 115 degrees to move towards 087 degrees with autopilot. This is game breaking.
Live weather may work perfectly, Iâve not gotten to that point.
The weather in the other missions though is absolutely bugged. Itâs also scripted, clearly, almost like they tried to use extreme weather to contain you in the mission area but were sloppy and put that weather too close and overlapping the mission area, or something. Because many missions, just seemingly random, are simply to extreme to fly and I have to abort them completely when I run into that.
As for âYour own choiceâ well no, it really isnât. My first career mode I had to reset because I could not progress past the very first mission because it was impossible to fly with the weather. I had no other missions to choose at that point. I had to reset my career, do the fam flight and PPL all over again in a new area and just HOPE I could at least get good weather on my initial mission so I could unlock choices.
More than that, it isnât like you can just look at the metar and decide if you want to take the mission. The metar in the EFB isnât correct and even when it is, the weather around the airport can be perfectly normal, like a magic bubble around the field, then as soon as you take off you go from 5knot winds to 70knot winds.
It is 100% bugged.

Unless this storm covers the entire planet, then no it isnât that.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
⢠at each use of th cesna in carreer mode, I either strugle with the wind, or even with the capacity of the aircraft not in line with the mission.

Does this video work? This shows my wind bug. Today seems better - but this is my first mission of the day.

I mean, thatâs tame really. Just turbulence which has always been â â â â in MSFS 2020 as well, which is why I wish we could turn it down.
Come back when that says 60knots 
Agreed and I only saw one wind sock today. Its the fast switching of wind direction that is compounding when the winds are high
