Is it possible to save weather generated with FSX own custom weather tool? Cannot find any "Save" buttons. Addons like ORBX PNW however add custom weather options. How can I do that?Rob

That's a good question. They should have let you create and save weather themes. This is one of the reasons ASE is necessary. The only way to save custom weather within FSX is to save the flight with the desired weather. You can then select this flight with the defined weather and change location, time, aircraft as desired.

Even that you can't do... You can only load saved flights and not edit them. So you would have to load the flight and only then you can change the location, time etc. To make things worse you can't do those things in one go either... If you want to select a flight and edit it, you need addons: FSX itself can't do that.

Yes, the term should have been "load" the flight, and it is a little more annoying making the changes from within the flight and waiting for an update after each change. It's really hard to understand why Microsoft didn't include an option to save weather themes. This isn't the only thing making an addon weather engine a big plus.
