How about this?
--metar="27012KT 2SM OVC1000 15/14 Q1001 NOSIG" It will set weather-scenario to METAR and disable real-weather-fetch. Needs just a little coding and gives some flexibility. But it probably is not very intuitive for the average user. And the robustness of the METAR parser has to be tested, but that's probably a good idea anyway. I'd really like this options, but I am used to reading a METAR, so my vote does not really count ;-) Torsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
