In FSX if I click on clear skies or partly cloudy skies, I will get clouds. A lot of time I will encounter rain or snow and very low visibility while landing. I will list only the items that are checked in OPUS ; There is also cloud popping. I have REX, but that weather is disabled along with FSX Weather.

Why are you clicking on clear skies ?

 

It looks like you have just loaded a static theme and corrupted your weather.

 

Please upgrade to the latest release version, read and follow the Recommended Practices and Settings listed in the new Avsim topic and best not click on any of the static theme options they will certainly just mess up your weather.

 

Don't forget to go through and check your dialogs and set all defaults in the weather dialogs after upgrading.

I clicked on clear skies because I wanted to fly in clear skies,lol. I didn't know it would mess things up.

Disable the OpusFSX weather engine first (in the OpusFSX configuration dialogue), then you can click on 'clear skies' in the weather theme selection in FSX.

Thank you !
