This change doesnt exactly affect the weather but is a temp hack until 
JSBsim developers adjust the modeling of turbulence.  I donot see this 
issue with the other FDM.  Calling for METAR or not is irrelevant I 
believe.  I was calling for METAR on my test flights this evening, got 
real weather but no turb.
