Not a problem that what practice is for.

This came up in the meeting last night.

Try and set the weather (as default ) to auto update

Then when you enter free flight change it to real world static if you need to.

If at all possible leave it auto update. Be sure to allow down load winds aloft also. That may have been the problem and not the static weather.

You must have the weather saved as default or Duenna will not read it correctly when it starts up.

Create flight save as default restart flight sim. Check settings and correct if necessary then restart again.

After discussion, Leg : HLLB to LGAD is valid but a 15-beer penalty is assessed to Kowalski65 for extra workload.

Baton is now at LGAD and available
