July 21, 20214 yr Morning All Probably a dumb question but when one sets custom weather parameters in the sim - so for example a 200ft cloud base - does that weather then apply to departure, en route and arrival locations ? Is it possible to set that cloud base just for my destination? Thanks
July 21, 20214 yr You can change the WX at any time so if you want a nice VFR flight enroute but an IFR landing, then just change WX when close to destination. I do this often. Maybe not very realistic but it works. And of course you can find an area to fly where a front is just moving in and you will get the real deterioration of WX. It would be nice if you could have a map and designate WX in different areas, maybe in the future...

I am sure it will get better.
