I notice that some of our Multiplayer Tour Chums select/use "Real Weather" for their flights.
This can sometimes introduce adverse weather conditions into the Sim, eg: Poor visibility, low cloud, storm clouds, mist, fog, strong winds, icing conditions, etc, and would therefore, under "real" conditions, prevent a safe flight during the Hop...!
...which is the reason your old Mate Fozz always selects a "nice" day, with good visibility, few or no clouds, with very light/no winds often allowing take off/landing on either end of the runway...

What do you reckon?
Would you take off for a Flight Sim Tour if the Weather Man told you to stay on the Ground!?
LOL...

Paul...G-BPLF...looking at the sky, and making a decision...

...Would you fly into a Thunderstorm?...
