![]() ![]() I’m sure there are key points I’m just not aware of. ![]() With that being said, if most flights are IFR and will be using some sort of instrument approach and departure, is it okay to allow for some level of deviation/inaccuracy for the visual aspects of weather like cloud coverage, precip and visibility?Īgain, this is just my take as a non-VATSIM simmer. Pressure and temperature are important so that pilots are generally at the correct altitudes across the board and a general idea is had about what to expect for aircraft performance. If that’s the case, are most flights planned with a SID, STAR and instrument approach? If these assumptions are accurate, it seems to me that the non-visual aspects of weather would be the most important to get correct in terms of accuracy and the visual aspects less important.įor example, wind speed and direction would be important so pilots are vectored into the proper runways for takeoff and landing and are properly separated by controllers. My take is based on my particular way of flying along with what I know generally about ATC operations.įrom conversations I’ve read in this and other forums over the years, I’m assuming that the majority of flights on VATSIM are IFR. Each one of us has a different level of experience and familiarity with aviation weather. I do however have real world piloting experience and have been simming for over 25 years. I’ll start off by saying that, like many people here, I’ve never flown on VATSIM. Inversely, which aspects would be acceptable to allow a certain level of inaccuracy, but still be suitable for online flying? ![]() What aspects of live weather are the most important that MSFS needs to get as accurate as possible to sufficiently fly on VATSIM and other similar online networks? I’m curious specifically about the visual aspects (clouds, visibility, precipitation) and the non-visual aspects (winds, temperature, pressure). With the recent changes to live weather introduced in SU7 (specifically the addition of METAR clouds and visibility) and the problems Asobo is attempting to address, I felt this topic needed a dedicated thread for discussion. ![]()
