Interrupting a long haul flight, what about real weather?

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

 

Since I don't have the time to leave my flightsim running for hours on a long haul 777 flight, I would like to spread the flight over a few blocks of about 2 or 3 houres. (If only that would be possible in real life eh captains? ^_^ )

Now, I understand that the complete system status of the aircraft itself (including FMC?) can be saved. As for atc, I use PFE which also has a save function.

But what about weather? I use ASE of FSX built in weather. Is there a possibility to save a weather status for a whole flightplan, so my fuel calculations don't get messed up? How do you guys do this?

 

Thanks for any advice!

 

Kind regards,

 

Nico

I think ASE has an option that allows you to load weather from a saved time in the past.

But I am not sure how to go around this.

If you are splitting flights up like that I don't think you can expect to have the same weather.

 

Just do the whole flight, splitting it up into stages is a tedious excercise

Just fly shorter flights. There's a whole thread on the fact that 777s do shorter flights. This simism that Big Plane = Long Route needs to go.

 

 

 

As for weather, and to properly answer your question, if you slow down for a second and actually look at the program you paid for to do awesome things, you would've answered your question already:

I agree with Kyle, I actually plan to replace my 767 flights that I used to do with the level d with the 777

I will probably replace all B747 flights with the B777 until the newer version of the B747 is released. While I love the McPhat Studios exterior textures, I often envy the graphics quality of the cockpit of the B737.

I do not think about weather and my time settings:

just set Active Sky to historic weather (sim time) and you have always the correct one. :P

 

(Just be sure to set to real time when flying online)
