Cannot update date and time and weather for saved flights

Saved flight - when I open the saved file days later to continue flight, I cannot update the date, time and weather. I have been into settings however neither setting nor the menu bar at the top of the inflight screen allows me to change these three things. I have been iinto the options screen and ensured the flight menu bar is on yet the weather icon remains switched off. Anyone got an idea on how to do this?

This has always been a problem with this sim. Its one of the bugs that one day I hope they will fix.
Until then saving flights is a waste of time.

If you have been in a group flight, you must exit the flight.
In order to do that you will need to be invited to another flight, and then exit it.

Correct, this is how it is functioning (either by design or bug) but has been this way since inception. It freezes the weather etc and you resume from there.

If you use REX Weatherforce you can at least inject the weather again.

Once you save your flight you can’t update anything. Its already saved with all your settings as a package. You have to create a new flight plan. Yes its annoying.

You must save it as a new .flt (not .pln) file. Just save with a new file name.
