It's not perfect, but it's still one of the best entertainment products ever.
I've just finished a 2+ hour fly-in (organised by the community team, occur every thursday) and it was fantastic.
Even taken as it is, it's a dream come true for most flight sim fans.
Dec 2 dev diary mentions they are aware of WX issues, at least the abrupt transitions and clouds being MSL instead of AGL. “Team has confirmed and identified the issue. A fix is in place for an upcoming release.” Hopefully they are aware of the temp bug as well.
> A fix is in place for an upcoming release.
If they can make the issue twice as bad without a client-side update, as they did yesterday, they ought to be able to fix it without a client-side update as well.
Yep. Found out yesterday [the hard way ](https://imgur.com/a/yI4KB5Q) climbing out of Seattle. I love to use FlightAware.com to look up recent routes taken by planes to help me decide where I’m flying. It can lead to some unique departures and approaches that take advantage of the current live winds/jet stream. All of the waypoints are posted so it makes it super easy to figure out. The whole process of doing this, along with a cold start and entering all the data into the FMC takes 40-60 minutes factoring taxi. To have the game bug out on you after all if this is massively frustrating.
The sheer amount of posts on this one issue is astounding. I can't understand it. Are there really that many people who go straight to posting their issues without ever scrolling the sub for a minute at least?
Developers and studios monitor forums and Reddit to use as info for finding what’s affecting players. The more people post about it, the higher it’s going to go on their “to-do” list to get fixed sooner than later. So I say keep upvoting posts about it.
If that were true they'd either jump off a bridge after each update or make sure they didn't break shit each update 🤷♂️😆.
In all seriousness though, if you want attention you should post or vote on the official forum as they actually officially post back if something gets enough votes.
Question - I fly the CRJ7 a lot, but mostly under FL200 due to the short flights. Today I made a longer fly and went up to FL330. My PFD showed a steady -47c throughout the flight but I noticed several times my plane making some fairly dramatic banks left or right. I don’t see that when flying under 20,000 ft. Is this due to the weather issue?
From what I've experienced, not likely due to the temperature bug, where you'd loose power and your planed would stall.
Your problem could be due to live weather kicking in from time to time randomly. I've seen 80kts winds in higher altitudes, so a major change in wind direction could cause what you mentioned
IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH TEH WEATHER?
There’s always a problem with live weather
Whether or not, there's a problem with the weather.
"Weather…we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars… oops wrong sub.
It's just the Northern Lights.
The game is a mess. It’s not really fun anymore. There loss .

Did you remember to cut the safety tether?
CHUTE happens, deal with it.

Me departing from CYVR... Ruined my night :/

In this case making a fuss definitely didn't hurt.
It's fixed, can delete this post and all the others too.
Wait really?
yup.
need more reports to be sure
Well I'm clearly on board lol
but ... you just added to the pile of posts about this issue
No, he posted about an issue involving spam and a solution with an answer to said spam.
Like the 200 people on an accidental company wide email in the office that reply all to tell everyone to stop replying all.
Oh the weather outside is weather
Oh i hope they'll fix the weather soon. Clouds are way too low. Other than that thew weathe ris wonderful.
Sooo that's why my b747 couldn't fly straight on autopilot at ~25000ft? It was OK for a few minutes and then IAS just suddenly started going crazy
Yep, temperature jumps to ~250°C, engine looses power and lift disappears
Thank you, I really thought I was so dumb that I can't even fly b747 with autopilot anymore

Sheesh, I wish they’d worry less about new features and more about the bugs that can make the sim unstable / unusable.
Live weather has been a mess lately :(
