• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

This is really bugging me. I can plan a flight from say Townsville to Cairns in North Queensland and it is snowing!!! This is in the tropical North of Queensland in Australia. I have looked through the menus but cannot find how to set the weather to the Southern Hemisphere.

Also while I am at it how do I change the time if I want to fly in daylight and it is actually night time here.

There is a lot more learning in this version of Flight sim than any of the others I have used so far.

You should be able to click on Townsville, check live weather on the weather drop down menue. you can manually set the month and time, usually it's automatic based on your system settings. There is a slider for setting anytime you want. The weather drop down not only has live weather, but a number of weather presets too. This can all be changed in game too.
 
In the weather menu, if the left-most Live option is active, you won't be able to adjust the time until after you start the flight. But what you can do is use the Preset option, then select Live from that menu. At the top is a slider for the time of day. That slider is always available in the in-flight weather menu.
