• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Does anybody know how to save realworld weather data in FS2004? I use realworld weather [updates every 15 minutes].

Lets say i am flying at FL310 and the wind is at 270 degrees at 65 kt. I pause and save my flight with realworld weather enabled. The next day when resume my saved flight, the wind speed and direction is different. It was 90 degrees at 93 kt. Is it possible to save weather data from the previous day? Thanks for the help.
 
Unless you can pause time, real world.

Real-World weather, updates every 15 minutes.....updates every 15 minutes... so if you used this feature, paused the sim for 1 hour and unpaused, the weather would have updated 4 times. AFAIK the sim downloads the data from Jeppessen, I could be wrong but they get it from somewhere on kind of like a live stream.

I think with active sky you can download the weather data and save that to be used on any other flight you do, but from the default feature I have no idea since that updates present time with obviously 15 minutes delay.

One thing you could do though is check the weather report just before you pause the sim for a while, write them down, make a new weather setting with that info and it will be the same ofcourse
 
Do a quick 'Save' in that flight and in that FLT file is also saved a weather file (WX file) with matching name. This has a locked 'snapshot' of those weather settings. It will not change though and will be a static shot, but you will be able to save that one shot (moment) and be able to load it again and change out planes, etc, in it.
 
thanks. So Activesky has the ability to save the weather from previous flights? intersting. Freeware or Payware?
 
Wait, sorry.. I didnt know we were talking 'active sky'. My apologies.

Built into FS is the ability to save a flight. When you save a flight, its a screenshot of that flight at that moment and includes weather.

I have no idea about 'active sky'. That is a payware system and I have no idea how that functions. I have heard good things about it though.
