Just to be clear:
a) The patch I provided fixes METAR interpolation.
b) However, it means that 3D clouds are not completely interpolated. A change in
cloudbase will be interpolated (quite nicely). However, a change in cloud
coverage
(including the removing or adding of layers) will _not_ have any effect.
I agree that its bad. Unfortunately I don't have time to fix it this weekend
before the
release.
If someone else wants to look, the place to start is the fgclouds.cxx code, in
particular
update_metar_properties() and update_env_config(). There is currently a split
between
fgclouds and the environment manager setting up these properties.
