i told you i found this.... but what do this button? it can be white and can be gray, i told you this too, but this button do nothing in my system

Metric, US and Hybrid all show the same clouds once the weather refreshes. If you switch from US to meters, it will show much larger clouds until the weather refreshes and then it will revert to the size of clouds it was showing before. Moving to metric makes the clouds temporarily bigger. If you're on metric and move to US or Hybrid they'll be temporarily smaller.

You can make a change and then force a manual refresh from the Debug window to see the clouds change size again.

sound odd

 

[damian]

You CAN. If you click the BLANK button it turns ASFS OFF and ON again. it's a toggle.

No, this is not a toggle. The button is supposed to be hidden, and is there only for required toolbar interop integration. It has no effect regardless, and the new build will further hide the button after any attempts to unhide it by toggling active on or off.

amen for that i know i'm crazy, so nobody can convince me this

Forecast in conditions is still not visible? BTW Great work!

I've noticed the ICAO shows CURR instead of the station code, is there a reason for this? I've never seen it show the station code

When no code is entered, it is CURR, your current interpolated conditions. Enter a code to get station/airport conditions as desired.

Yeah, I've done that but, shouldn't show the current code instead of CURR and we having to look below for the code?
Just a thought.

 

[damian]

What current code? The closest? But that's nearly always different wx to where you are NOW. We did that about 12 years ago, but everyone agreed it needed to be current interpolated conditions, that's really what most want, what the weather is at your position right now. To find info on wx about stations around you, the map is designed for that.

Ok, so CURR is not the current station but the current interpolated conditions.
Maybe change it to a more explicit term like INTERPOLATED, or just leave it.
Sorry for the trouble, time to check the new beta.

Right there is no station, just your current interpolated conditions. That's what this reports. We'll work on making that more intuitive moving forward. Thank you!

i agree curr some confusing stuff. but when we know what is it, it's o.k.

Glad it's been removed as I won't need it. On my machine it absolutely IS a toggle. I've worked in IT on and off for 30 years from tech support/pc builder to IT consultancy /software testing. I tested it in several scenarios 5 times to eliminate errors. It certainly may not be INTENDED to be a toggle but MSFS absolutely treats it as one for me. I lost all ASFS injection for 24 hours until I found the button and clicked it. Instant recovery of injection. When ASFS text shows below it works, when it does not show it does not. Clicking button once changes state back and forth which is why I 'named' it a toggle.

no weather depiction in new beta update at all it says msfs connected nothing wrong in the log so no clue everything good with the previous beta

8883 metric system (40000f)

for calibrate weather

 

[Ikaro Chagas]

there is a metar discrepancy with the weather presented in beta 8883

 

[Hewpilot]

Sorry test the last build :
DAAG to LFPO with simbrief flightplan loader.
Weather above Mallorca clear but in reality big clouds front as you can see in Windy website.

I clear flightplan then all the clouds appareil.

You can check my last flight in HewPilot Twitch channel.
