Hmm ... no idea. Erik told me he'd be off line today until later tomorrow. One bug that apparently crept in is, that cloud elevation is taken ASL while it should be AGL. This wouldn't explain moves, though. > Does the weather fetching code address pressure, temperature and > visibility? Right now it just appears to be updating clouds and winds. That's what is used and set right now (but only at startup): pressure, temperature, dewpoint, visibility, cloud elevation and coverage, wind speed, wind direction, and range, gust speed. The interface provides some more information. You can even have friction coefficients for particular runways, or "2cm snow; medium braking action". :-) Cloud layer thickness isn't provided in Metar messages, but Erik deduced that from the coverage. (scattered clouds: thin layer, overcast: thick layer) m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
