Cant save the downloaded real weather

[Mikker]

I used to be able to save a downloaded real worl weather, with a
situation.
When I then load the situation later on, the weather data from the
time I saved the situation is loaded. If it was raining and temp was
12 dec celcius, its the same when I load the situation.
If I now load the old saved situations, the weather data is also
loaded.
But if I today generate a new situation, download the latest real
world weather, and save the situation, and then later load the newly
saved situation, the weather data dosen´t load. The weather is "reset"
to some kind of default value, with clear visibility, no clouds and 15
deg. celcius all over the world...

I have removed the cookies in the explorer and moved the temp files
folder in explorer, just as Microsoft on their supportpages guides me
to do. Nothing helps!
I also have been udinstalled and reinstalled the FS2004 two times, but
nothing helps...
Any ideas what I should do?

You have something else going on here.

There is normally no problem creating a flight, downloading the real-time
weather, saving the flight, and then selecting the flight later with the
downloaded weather correctly in there.

You might start by checking the folder "My Documents\Flight Simulator
Files\..." for the file with the name of the flight which you saved. There
should be the flight itself with the .FLT extension, and the weather file
with .WX extension.

Are you using a flight name that already exists? Perhaps there is a problem
with permissions prohibiting overwriting that file?

It should not matter, but if you saving the flight immediately from the
"create a flight" screen, then you might try "Fly Now" first, then save the
flight from the menu: "flights - Save flight", just to test it it makes any
difference .....
