Can't Change Weather or Time Inflight after a long pause using ESC

I created a flight/flightplan, was on the runway, then hit ESC to pause the sim. A few hours later I, when I resumed the sim, the Weather and Time setting option accessed from the tool bar was all greyed out. I can’t reset the time or change weather from Live. I am not playing multi-player. What gives??
