With FS2004 most of the old FS98 methods of doing things with weather don't work too well in any case. The weather is cleared initially because you cannot set "global"weather (which is all FS98 had) whilst the world is populated with localised weather. After the weather is cleared for you (which only happens the first time you try to use the old FS98 weather interface) then of course you need to set suitable clouds -- you cannot have any rain or snow without a cloud layer.

Even then I have doubts. In FS2004 the weather becomes "localised" after a while, and then you cannot use the global weather settings unless you clear the weather again. Horrible.

If you are really interested in dealing with FS2004 weather please check the New Weather Interface, which is designed for FS2004.

Regards,

Pete

Sorry I don't support old versions -- 3.53 is now over 6 months old. Current is 3.65. Please update.
