ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
On the Free Flight world map, weather cannot be hidden. The layer options that used to work in FS2020 and earlier FS2024 iterations did work.
A better solution however would be to add a show/hide weather selection. Ideally this would be a toggle on the main screen.
This issue seems to have been brought up in the SU4 BETA, and ignored.
It makes it extremely difficult to find an exact starting position, or a cumbersome process of removing the weather, choosing your location and adding back the weather later (or in the sim world).
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Load the sim
- Choose Free Flight
- Select weather if there is not any already selected - overcast or heavy broken cloud is best
- Look at your map - try to find details on the map. You can’t, they’re covered by cloud.
