Hi Jim,My first question is this...I've installed AS and all is well. Now, when I exit flight simulator, close out AS, and start fresh, If I open FS, select 'previous flight' (without opening AS) will FS retain the weather settings from the previous flight without opening AS (or creating a .dat file)? The reason is I'm doing a bunch of short hops trying to learn the Garmin GPS and don't want to have to download the weather everytime or save a .dat file (geez, pretty lazy!).Make sense? :-) Thanks and I'm having a great time learning to use AS!Mark

Yep, no matter what weather method you use FS saves it. In your case it is called previous_wx.***You keep those questions rolling in, but please start a new thread with each. It is easier for us to kee track that way.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
