Live traffic and Weather in Career Mode

[Eva]

I have been flying with the live weather off in career mode. Traffic I had set to AI but was getting very little of it.

Today I decided to make a flight with Live Weather On, Live Traffic On, and Multiplayer on.

It was a decidedly different experience. It was only marginally more difficult (if you know how to fly IFR with AP). But it was more interesting as a change of pace (for example I took off in the rain). I also got a very substantial bad weather bonus that was more than the Don't Skip Bonus. All told the Charter mission paid around 250,000 credits. I did have to deal with more crosswind than I normally accept, but I still stuck the landing.

Anyway, if you haven't given it a try, I would recommend doing so. But do check to make sure the wind isn't anything too crazy. IIRC I had about 12 knots cross, which required considerable rudder correction on landing.

ATC was of course predictably borked. While on final and just about to land, I was instructed to go around. I was landing on 19 and they were taking off on the same runway right at me. Since it is a game, I shrugged and landed the plane.

Can you see other players in career mode? And do real-life planes appear for you? In my game, I keep it activated, but it doesn’t work—neither the weather is correct nor does the time change. If I play at night, the game still stays in daylight even when it’s activated.

Go to controls and type set lulu minutes assign a key to it and press it while you are in the cockpit, will give you real weather and real time off by some minutes only. Happy flying

I definitely saw other planes, including that other plane that took off from MY runway.

Took that medic mission that started in LIRF /Roma and destination tripolis and activated the Traffic in the Career Settings.

Was very chaotic and full at the big Roma Airport.. but I believe this were all AI Trafiic and no multiplayer players.. :(

Also I got a ton of could not connect to AI Traffic Data Error splashes on my Screen during the flight.

Now I do a Cargo flight form Greece bottom island to somewhere in turkey...
Although I hear the ATC talking to other plane I haven't seem them on this flight.

But no live weather..
Did I get that right only this few missions with a red dot have life weather and maybe life multiplayers?

No I don't think other player show in career mode, only AI traffic if selected...

I've live weather on at all times. I just won't adjuzt the zulu time until bugs are ironed out as my cargo missions are mostly to unlit runways.
