ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
The AI ATC and career mode seem to be using the real weather data instead of the in-sim weather data. This is a problem if, for example, the real airport is IFR but in the sim it’s a beautiful day with clear skies. I did a flight in career mode today out of my local airport and had to disobey the ATC to be able to take off because it thought the airport was in IFR conditions. I also got a “hazardous weather” bonus at the end of the mission. The same thing happens when it’s night time IRL but day time in the sim. I’ve been given penalties for not having my landing lights on at night when it was a bright and clear day. -
