#Pre-Flight Check
Weather
Dear all,
unfortunatelly the “live weather” is working in the real world as well:
Which means that in FS 2020 / Switzerland (Bern to Geneva) we see as much as in real life: nothing. Bummer.
(At least it snows :))
So the following weather settings are suggested:
| Variable | Setting |
|---|---|
| Server | North Europe |
| Multiplayer | All |
| Live traffic | As desired |
| Weather | Few Clouds |
| Time of day | 14:00 local (13:00 UTC) |
Of course you can still choose “live weather” if you prefer - but you will miss out quite a bit 
Updated Flight Plan
Also, I added a few additional waypoints to our flight plan tonight. All links to the corresponding *.PLN in the first post above should be updated and your flight plan should look like:
For convenience here is the updated flight plan again: Tell Tours - Bern to Geneva.pln (5.9 KB)
Optional Scenery
I added a few links to optional (and free) scenery add-ons that you may copy into your “community folder”. Note that I suspect that “excessive geometry / texture data” may be related to those ominous “crashes to desktop” (CTD). In a prior flight I had at least one occurence where custom geometry seemed to be the “trigger” for the subsequent CTD.
That being said I just made a test flight with all the above scenery add-ons installed, flying over each location in one go, without any issues. My GPU (an AMD Radeon Pro 580 in an iMac ;)) has 8 GB of VRAM. So if you have less VRAM (only 6 or even 4 GB) or experience otherwise regular CTDs then I suggest not to install the above scenery add-ons. Or if you want to limit the number of add-ons then I’d recommend Bern.
All the remaining details will be discussed just before take-off
