Photoreal background in Free Flight selection screen

Oh OK! Thanks for the point out.

Back to this. If I change the settings to the clouds, SU3/4 the setting does not remember this and on next start it displays clouds again.

This has been reported in the SU4 Beta category, Weather & Live Weather section.
