How to change weather conditions in a saved flight.

Featured Replies

If you cannot see the toolbar when loading a saved flight, or if you can see it but cannot change the weather, here is a simple workaround that will allow you to load a saved flight and change the weather.

As some of you may have discovered, you cannot see the toolbar when you load a saved flight. but if you switch to VR, the toolbar becomes visible, but you cannot change the weather. This is a known bug.

Following are the changes you need to make to allow you to see the toolbar and change the weather on saved flights.


When you select a saved flight, open the appropriate flight with notepad and change the following entries as shown below


[Weather]
UseWeatherFile=False
UseLiveWeather=False
WeatherPresetFile=.\WeatherPresets\FewClouds.WPR          *Delete what comes after =
WeatherCanBeLive=False                                    *Change this to True
CloudmapPosOverride=False                                 Delete everything that comes after
CloudmapInitialPosX=0
CloudmapInitialPosY=0
FixedClouds=False
DebugPublicAirflowDisplay=False

 

This is what you end up with. 

[Weather]
UseWeatherFile=False
UseLiveWeather=False
WeatherPresetFile=
WeatherCanBeLive=True


In addition to the above, change the following 2 entries...[ResourcePath] and [ObjectFile] 
 
Copy and paste the following on top of the existing entries:

[ResourcePath]
Path=Missions\Asobo\FreeFlights\FreeFlight\FreeFlight

[ObjectFile]
File=Missions\Asobo\FreeFlights\FreeFlight\FreeFlight


Save the file and load the flight. You should now be able to load a saved flight and change the weather at will. I have tested this many times and it works.
