Indeed - but remember, that interpolation between different METAR
stations does not only affect wind. Cloud layers, pressure, visibility
and other environmental effects are related. How do you handle
AI/MultiPlayer setups .... ? Different scenarios arise: a) You travel
from the vincinity of one METAR station to another and b) all METAR
stations get an update - which probably has a _huge_ effect in the
morning. To handle all these different tasks might result in a large
overhaul of the weather subsystem and I believe this is the reason why
nobody took a stab at it yet.
Still I confess that I would consider only partial improvement as a
great deal !!!
