Live Weather

[Lawliet]

Suggestion based on what a number of simulators fail to do (and some succeed with relative ease, some add-ons also easily throw in cough cough RW Enhancer 2), implementation of live weather along the route. Even if it's not accurate the entire way, chopping the route in half and using radio METAR updates for Katowice and Warsaw to set up live weather would definitely be interesting/nice.

Yes... YES PLEASE... the live weather in Omsi is awesome, really adds to the immersion when the weather changes to reflect whats actually happening in the area you are driving,

The METAR weather servers are there to be used by anyone, when i suggested live weather for tsw, people were saying we shouldnt be using stuff like this, the reports are for aircraft etc... but they are for anyone to use, hence why it's all open and not locked behind a paywall or needing an aircraft number to access.

it's awesome isnt it,
I'm not the social type really, so one new years eve i decided to drive a but on Omsi Berlin map through the night, weather was snowy and cold, bus was slipping and passengers moaning,
at midnight fireworks went off in Omsi, just as real ones went off outside.

Yeah, most people get drunk to celebrate new year, i was driving a virtual bus and marveling at the virtual weather and virtual fireworks 🎇

I remember back in the day when real weather first was added to Flight Simulator.  I really don't mess with that as it was an older version on early PC's but it was so cool.

I have noticed that when it rains in MP it does rain everywhere.  I'm not sure if the fronts move through down the line though or if it all starts raining at the same time.

Thanks

On the Q&A vid (September?) with Piotrek, he said real weather would be a thing.

In multiplayer mode, weather is updating in interval of 5 minutes by downloading weather data of current "weather cell".
Whether cell is area of 10km x 10km with 1 hour of cache.

Great to see it's already a thing!

[SurvivorSean]

That is cool!
