Weather "preset" won't save
Weather "preset" won't save
If I choose Weather Preset for a task and save it, then discard (new task), then load the saved task, the weather preset is gone. It is replaced by "Custom". Can we get this fixed?
Re: Weather "preset" won't save
The weather should be the same as the preset though. Is it not?

Re: Weather "preset" won't save
The presets generate some weather parameters, but with a lot of random variation. Once you save a task, the weather parameters are locked in, so every time you load it (or anyone who flies it) it has the exact same weather parameters. This is by design.
The "randomize weather on each task" does something else: It randomizes the seed. This means every time you load the task will have the same parameters, but the exact location/strength/etc of the thermals will vary on each flight, so you cant memorize where to fly what thermal. If you dont select that, the weather will be 100% identical, the same thermals will form at the same time on the same places.

It appears to reload the weather, and if randomized it changes it a little.
But it would be nice to have the preset reflect what you saved so you can check it quickly before starting a flight server.
