Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Weather and Flight Conditions Explained
67Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Weather and Flight Conditions Explained
Weather has always been a central part of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and in the 2024 version, live weather data is even more seamlessly integrated into the simulation. Players will experience real-time weather conditions, including thunderstorms, heavy winds, and turbulence, all powered by live data. The new weather system allows for greater variation in conditions, particularly in more challenging weather situations like tropical storms or blizzards.
MSFS 2024 also introduces 24-hour historical weather, allowing pilots to experience weather conditions from earlier in the day.
The improved weather engine not only affects how the world looks but also impacts flight dynamics. Furthermore, pilots will finally be able to make use of their aircraft’s windshield wipers, which are now fully functional in MSFS 2024! This feature enhances realism in adverse weather, improving visibility and adding a new layer of cockpit management during wet conditions.
Flying through thunderstorms, for example, will require pilots to carefully navigate the turbulence and rapidly changing wind conditions.
