AS should automatically override any default weather. Just set the time in AS. I use the Alt key once or twice after setting the time to ensure that the weather starts downloading. 

If you're talking about using the Alt key in AS, which I assume is the same thing as using the Activate button? I see in AS after hitting the Activate button that it is downloading info. So, I know that part is working but, alas, not happening in MSFS.

Sorry, I meant the Tab key.

Just an update on my AS issue. After a total reinstall of MSFS2024 and a reinstall of AS, it appears we're in business. There is evidently a bug in MSFS2024 that causes issues with historic weather but, we'll just have to let that one shakeout.

Being I'm another one of those mostly GA flyers, AS does a good job with both direct and passive live weather, imho.
