I believe Anton said there is a Storm setting for the weather. As for high winds, it is unknown.

Flying in the rain is, soothing

If you can make it rain I hope the water rolls off of the canopy.

The Oil kinda does

Ist the training mode more like "free practice", I get the feeling the OP is asking about something more structured?

Suppose one of the forum aces could always offer "sim flight for newbies" lessons on a private MP server.

This is a good idea but since we have no idea how the online modes are even going to work. We will have to wait and see.

Hopefully a person can host a room and allow or deny people at his leisure.

ok a challenge for any1
do a match with storm conditions at night against the hardest opponent possible and FILM IT

Yeah I was thinking more along the lines of a tutorial. Just abit annoying if I have an already steep learning curve getting made steeper by not having a sort of sim tutorial. I'm sure there are other people out there who are flight sim newbies but only are buying the game for the simulation setting.

No biggie just means I'll have loads of hours of trial and error.

I like the idea about a MP room with some vets teaching people though, seems pretty cool.

i kept crashing the mustang on sim setting, just simple turns had me spinning, hopefully a stick will improve my flying. but a tutorial and free flight mode would be great

turn down the sensitivity
