I have tried just about every combo of turning live weather, multiplayer and AI traffic on and off and still can’t get the dumb thing to work…it worked when i first played but after an MP session with friends it stopped and i cant get it back.
What is the correct series of cryptic options do you need to have to get the d@mn thing to work?
Try this: Click on the Gear icon in the menu at the top of your monitor, then Reset.
didnt work, I also tried resetting all the data tab to default and nothing.
There must be one setting I have set wrong thats causing this but I just cant work out what fecking one it is
For me, the solution was to reset all GENERAL options to default.
Tried all that, still nothing…think i might try a reinstall
I find it won’t let me change weather if I’m in a multiplayer free flight. I have to turn off multiplayer when setting up a free flight and I can control weather again. I think you can have AI traffic and live ATC though I haven’t fully tested it all.
But you can access all the other panels, but weather?
Yup. all other panels are fine aside form weather
This doesn’t help you but I have the same thing with the AI Control panel. The bloody thing is just gone.
Maybe its a bug then?
Is there file validation on the MS Store version?
Oh, it’s certainly a bug. I reported it to Zendesk (and you should too), but I can imagine what priority they give to a bug that only two people seem to experience…
I tried a repair and reset, which basically redownloaded the entire 90gb again and still no Weather Panel.
Who do i report it to and how?
Use the Zendesk link in the forum header bar, and then Submit A Request, or just click here: https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
@TheChugster. Hi. I think I might be able to shed some light onto this bug. I will post an image of my “Request” on Zendesk on this same issue, but mine is the ATC panel that can’t be enabled. To clarify, EnterableSleet1 & SlidStew01 Xbox accounts are under Microsoft family accounts.
In short, please do not reinstall MSFS again. Changing the Settings also does not solve it. This is most likely an Xbox account sync issue as the issue persists when installing on another PC with the same account. This is why reinstalling will keep the same settings & key bindings as these are probably stored in an Xbox cloud. Maybe resetting MSFS game data on the Xbox cloud (somewhere I don’t know) will solve the issue? (Haven’t tried this)
Ok, so at least they know about this, I will submit a bug report as well though
edit: submitted with pics, hopefully they can solve it
By any chance are you loading a saved flight?
If so changing the weather is locked out. It cannot be changed when you either load a saved flight or use the skip leg function.
I had this happen with the atc window. I fixed it by switching to windowed from full screen and then back to full screen. Might work for you too.
no, new flights…plus i went from full screen and back when finding details for the bug report
Ahh ok. Worth a shot at least.
@TheChugster @ojhwel Guys I have possibly some solutions that are worth a try! And it’s thanks to the community.
This is how I solved my greyed/grayed out ATC panel. It may help yours too, maybe the AI Control Panel, or Weather panel? And yes, tinkering with the settings in this BUGGY sim helps solve some issues.
Can’t select ATC in menu setting. ATC is grayed out
ATC menu is grayed out
Basically these are the steps below (based on the articles above):
This may fix some of your problems. I hope it helps! Let me know if anything works okay?
Below are some threads worth reading:
Missing UI Panels - No VFR Map, Weather, Travel To
Flight condition greyed out
Thanks for the shout-out. Unfortunately it didn’t change anything for me. I think the game believes it’s showing the AI Control panel (I sometimes see it for half a second when starting a flight).
But you made me find the “Let copilot handle ATC communications” setting in Assistance which I’d somehow always missed, thanks for that!
