Hi. I am able to save a flight as normal, however, the weather does not and its driving me mad. I save my flight as fogged in @ 1m distant, no clouds, fog extends up to 5000ft. I fly rotary and like it this way. 

 

When I go to my saved flight I have something completely different. Am I doing something wrong here? 

 

Thanks for any help.

No, I don't think it's something you are doing.  Not all things are saved when you do a "saved" flight.

Saving a flight also saves a .WX file which is the weather. I do not know why you are not seeing the weather conditions that existed when you saved the flight as I know that a saved .flt with a .wx will reload with the correct weather.

 

For my multiplayer needs with the 91st Bombardment Group on our missions, I create custom weather for the entire mission route then save the flight. I do this while sitting at our takeoff field. I then distribute the .WX file to all the pilots prior to the mission. They create a saved flight at their assigned parking spaces then substitute the .WX file that is created with the WX file that I distributed.

 

On mission day we all have the same winds, cloud conditions, etc. So, bottom line is I don't know why what works for our group does not work for you.

Try to save it as  default flight?

Paul, if you use an external weather program such as ASN, will this overwrite the weather associated with the saved flight?

I'm not really sure as I never use an external weather engine, although I have two or three.

 

My guess would be that the external weather engine will 'take over' and the saved WX will be discarded.

 

I have found that using the default FSX menu item  'World \ Weather' , it is an easy exercise to create custom weather for each or all weather stations along your intended route. I usually start by using the "All weather stations" option and set some global weather parameters. Then I select the "A specific weather station' and set unique weather for those stations along my route.
