Where exactly is the weather data stored in saved flight files?

The weather hasn’t really changed yet (checked first by loading at the airport and changing time to day) but at least the save game does save the current time (it’s dark now in Xianyang)

However the weather is already a bit different

Toolbar is indeed gone, shortcut keys for VFR map and ATC don’t do anything. ATC is nagging me atm but I can’t respond. “Acknowledge last transmission” Sorry can’t “ATC services terminated” (Co-pilot radio handling is on but the co-pilot isn’t responding either)

Was live weather actually ever stored in save games? I don’t remember ever seeing any extra save files and if its not the SPB file then there is no where it can be. Slew mode doesn’t work either so only way to find out of live weather is updating is fly to the desert, long way lol.

I flew away from the clouds (headed north to Mongolian desert) so it’s definitely not static. I guess they fixed it resuming the use of live weather as set in the save file
UseWeatherFile=False
UseLiveWeather=True

However without ATC and many things not working, save/load still useless. And no option to save the weather for later.
