Saving with live weather and time? Does not load back

I started a flight with live weather and live time. Completed the flight and saved it. Came back several hours later, loaded the save flight. The weather and time was the same when I had saved it. It had not progressed several hours. Also there was no way to adjust the time or weather to make it go live.

What I’m looking to do is fly with live time and weather in the morning. Then save the flight come back in the afternoon and load the flight and have the time and weather be in the afternoon. But like I said it’s still in the morning where I saved it and no way to select it back to live that I know of. Is there a way to do this??

Yes there is a way to do this. You must be flying in the mode that allows changing weather/time. This CANNOT be done in Live Players mode, so change to any of the other 2. You can then open the weather tab and select live weather/time.

Thanks for the reply. So I did try this last night. I started a flight without live weather. Selected live weather and time once it loaded in. Took off circled the airport switched it back to custom time and weather and saved it. Closed the game and opened it back up. Loaded the save and was not able to change the weather. It was stuck on custom, it would not allow me to even open the weather tab at the top of the screen.

Update: Looks like an update may have come out. Reason I say that is now I can start a flight in real time and real weather and be able to edit in flight. It will let me open the weather tab and switch to custom weather or time. But when saved and loaded back in the weather tab is no longer there. It’s the same if I start the flight in with custom weather and time. Can edit it until saved and loaded back in then unable to edit it.

I confirm, it’s a bug

I submitted a ticket for this on Wednesday. Still no reply back other than they revived the ticket. I’m going to put in another ticket.

Before it was only the weather that would not come up after loading a save. Now the toolbar at the top will not work at all and refueling will not work at the airports. Making a save useless.

At least the live weather seems to be working finally.

I just tried this, I Saved a Flight with Live Weather, upon going to Load the Flight it says it’s Raining (which does not correspond to Live Weather) and there’s no way to change it. I tried altering the Options in the text file but nothing helped.

So Loading a Saved File with Live Weather is bugged (for me at least)

Just an update, as of yesterday I’m no longer able to load a save at all. The save file will take about 10min to load then crash the game back to desktop. Either just before fully loading or just as it starts to show the plane on the runway.
