Players of Microsoft Flight Simulator are requesting a time machine feature that would allow them to revisit historical weather events and famous flights. The game's developer, Asobo Studio, built the simulation using raw data such as satellite imagery and real-world weather information. While the idea of historical weather is something the team has considered, the necessary data does not currently exist.

Game developers are increasingly incorporating realistic weather conditions into their games to enhance immersion and create more dynamic gameplay experiences. Forza Motorsport, a popular racing game, features complex weather systems that affect visibility and car controls. Total War: Pharaoh, a strategy game, introduces a dynamic weather system that adds randomness and realism to battles, with weather conditions impacting terrain and gameplay. Players appreciate the balance between realism and fun, as accurate weather simulation can inspire learning and education. The inclusion of weather in games also challenges the notion that people in the past were less knowledgeable about meteorology.
