How to Set weather in fsx?

Featured Replies

Hello to everyone, my name is Murat Deniz Senol, i am new to the forum so if i placed the topic in the wrong forum please forgive me. 

I have the basic FSX, except the PMDG products i have no add-ons. Even when i fly at 39.000 feet, i can still see the ground clearly. How can i reduce visibiliy and add clouds?

With FSX running, when you are at an airport in an airplane you can enter the FSX menus Options, Weather.  You will find options you may set for various weather conditions.  You can even make settings for your own custom weather.  Take note however the Live Weather options there no longer work.  Microsoft discontinued live weather options a number of years ago.  If you would like to have live weather there are aftermarket products you can purchase and install that produce that for you.  HiFi Simulations offers Active Sky 16; Real Environment Extreme (REX) offers REX Sky Force; and another option out there is a product/service called FS Global Real Weather (FSGRW).  All three provide live weather injected into FSX, FSX SE, and P3D.

Yet another live weather injector is FSXWX, which is free but may be a bit complicated to install as it does not have an installer but must be installed manually.
