Sky Force will re-enable itself every time you open it. You have to turn the SF weather engine slider on and then off to reset it each time. Then confirm that the SF weather engine status reads as disabled rather than disconnected.

Indeed, this does do the trick tx

It's just that, for me and a few others, if you turn the SF weather engine (SFWE) off (showing disabled) then shut down and restart SF, the SFWE will be back on, ie showing disconnected if the sim is not running sim or connected if it is.

 

Afaik the fact that is shows 'disconnected' is only a UI problem, so REX posted a while ago. The weather engine isn't actually running or doing anything. I've never seen Connected there, always Disconnected, and I never have weather problems.

On my system, with the SFWE on the WE status display will change from "disconnected" to "weather on standby" as the sim scenario screen comes up. Then, as the sim starts, another window opens saying weather is being injected and finally the WE status shows "weather injection completed". So status display seems to be correct for me.

Looks like you are right in the case where you start SF with the SFWE previously turned off. The status will show "disconnected" rather than "disabled" but will not inject any weather. So my previous advice seems to be wrong. Still, so many bugs in this program I surprised anyone gets the same results.
