Change of weather and time after loading a saved flight

If I reload any save, one of two things happens. 1) the weather menu is inaccessable, greyed out on the gear wheel list. or 2) the top menu is missing entirely, so I can’t access ATC or anything.

Also the time is set to the time of the save, not live time. So there’s no way to go back to live time.

This is a big problem for me too :frowning_face:
I can’t continue my saved flights with real conditions… :rage:

I am also unable to change the time or flight conditions since updating to 1,10.8.0
What is going on ?

I was going to do a around the world flight but when I load my save it will not have live time or let me change the weather.

Save as a plan file, then try.

okay ill try

Seriously?? Weather doesn’t load when you load a saved flight? Every time I load a saved flight, it loads with clear skies, weather was overcast when I saved.
Did Asobo not look at ANY features of FSX before they released this?

This can happen but for me 90% the weather is fine. The problem of real weather resetting to clear skies occurs randomly, not only on loading saved files.

Every time I load a new aircraft without closing MSFS the weather change to clear sky.
To achieve the real weather is necessary to close and restart the whole sim.
Not good.

Yep same, clear skies for me as well on first start. Restart the sim usually resets this and the live weather loads. But I’ve tried loading a saved flight 10+ times, and it just loads with clear skies

I suppose the question here is, when loading a saved flight, do you load the weather in the save, or “Live Weather”.

Perhaps the new live weather differs from the live weather that was present in the save. It has to done one or the other.

If you have a flight set to “Live”, fixed time, and weather that you cannot adjust, and you save that flight at midday, then load that up at midnight, is it still live any more if the conditions match the point you saved, rather than the “live” time/weather when you load the save.

No, it definitely doesn’t load LIVE weather. It loads clear skies on loaded saved flights. I’m going to try some more saves/loads with different settings

Turning multiplayer off or on and live weather doesn’t do anything to bring back the cloud buttoo on saved flight.

This is a big issue for me too.
I can’t continue my flights with real time and real weather.
I think this is a “feature”, and need a fix from Asobo within the patches.

Bring the ability to change the time and weather when you chose the saved flight in menu and after you started this saved flight, during it.

If it’s of any use I just had the same requirement (things were getting dark in my 152 as I skirted around Scotland) so I wondered if saving and editing the created .FLT file and then reloading it might work - I’m glad to say it did.
I cannot guarantee any success, nor it resulting in crashing the game etc., but I changed the ‘Hours’ under the ‘[DateTimeSeason]’ entry in the .FLT file with a text editor (I use PSPad) - use at your own risk :wink:

Interesting, thank you. Will try. But anyway, they have to make this changing possible.

Too right - I’m surprised it wasn’t available via the developers console (a la plane change mid-flight) - voted up :slight_smile:

I want that too!

Whats about that problem???
I’ve installed 1.11.7.0 from Dec. 18 an the problem is there, alwys if I load a saved file.
I load the .flt file.
With activated developer tool I can change the time, but only in 1 hour intervalls to complete hours (about options - local time). But this is a limit, especially if you look for sun-up/down.
AND: no chance for weather change in the developer tool.
This happens also with individual weather (no live) and with aircraft in the air or on runway-start.
WHEN will this bug fixed ???
