REAL WEATHER IN-THREE-AREAS PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: DUE TO FS LIMITATIONS PRESSURE HAVE TO BE THE SAME IN ALL WEATHER AREAS. YOU HAVE TO SET THAT FIRST IN YOUR .RWX FILE BEFORE LOADING REAL WEATHER AREAS.

• Select your Airplane and Departure Airport, make a situation called for example, "REAL" (real.stn file) and set Start Situation File to the same one (in Options/Preferences).

• Set Target Situation and Source Situation in the config file located in the Real Weather subdirectory to this same situation:

  # Source situation file.  Create this by setting up the 
  # flight sim exactly as you want it, and save the
  # situation to this file.
  
  SourceSTN = c:\usr\games\fs51\pilots\weather.stn
  
  # Target situation file.  You should make this your
  # default startup situation.
  
  TargetSTN = c:\usr\games\fs51\pilots\weather.stn
