No, this does imply, that the server should allways have the control over the weather and time of day settings. This means, that the server is telling you if Metar or something else is used. > > > How would the initial > > > conditions be the same, since players enter and leave at any time?

Who is the first player when the first player leaves the server? That's why normally such things are set by the server administrator or by the users who have to vote for a change of the settings.
