Live Weather in Costa Rica, working as intended

Discussion Hub General Discussion

So I decided to do some bush flying in Costa Rica, hopping from one aerodrome to another, and the live weather is pretty accurate to what I’m seeing in Windy.com
Even if I quit to the main menu and set up a new flight (tested several times), it still works – no need to restart MSFS as some are reporting here.

ps. make sure to land on MRSN (Sirena Station, handcrafted) coming from the North (closest is MRDK), it’s one of my favorite approaches!

Go home, ground traffic, you’re drunk:

I used to hang out at Quepos (MRQP) a bit. Beautiful country.

Seems to be a beautiful place! I love exploring it in the sim and hope I can do it irl after things get back to normal.

I’m from Costa Rica, and i am flying in the most important airports here (MROC, MRLB and MRPV), and the weather on these airports (especially winds) are not according real weather. Winds always shows speed up to 3 kt, but the real weather has windws of 10 kts to 20 kts on surface.
