Weather changes...
I fly a connie, so 15 hours across the Atlantic. Fog can come up in 1 hour, and so can thunderstorms. Now if MS/FS could give you a
weather forecast that would improve things, but unfortunately it doesn't. Even worse, it provides a sort of one size fits all weather and only
updates when you get close (assuming you use rw weather). I did a flight from EHRD to ESSA and checked the weather at the destination
before take off: 10 degrees celcius, while EHRD was 1 C and is like 100 km south of ESSA. When I landed 3 hours later at ESSA it was
minus 14!
