If you’re a Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 beginner on PC, PS5, or Xbox, you may not be aware of the options offered by using live or historical weather.
For instance, did you know that MSFS 2024 can simulate real weather up to 24 hours in the past or that you can have the current real-world weather combined with a different time of day or even date?
The way that’s done isn’t necessarily intuitive, and this kind of information is too often taken for granted.
Yet, it’s rather important, because historical weather is best used with the built-in flight planner, while if you’re using Simbrief and want to fly at any time that isn’t the current moment, you should definitely use live weather combined with a different time of day or even date.
This little tutorial explains all you need to know to set the time and weather conditions that best suit your flight.
Of course, please keep in mind that it isn’t aimed at expert simmers, who likely already know the relevant information covered here.
