I just made a fresh install of FG 1.9.1 onto my Macbook, for both Windows XP
and OS X Leopard.
The OS X flightgear version works well, despite the fact that the GPU driver
remains inferior to the Windows driver. This means that 3D clouds cannot be
enabled due to the fact that they have a strobing effect all the time, reduces
my FPS down below 20 and also amps up the heat of my system. This effect also
continues into the FG pre-release version. Although the frames per second
tends to be on the 20's, the metar works perfectly well, always updating (every
ten minutes or so).
In Windows, the graphics are great! With all the rendering options available, I
am able to run FG at around 50 FPS, on average that is. However, unlike the OS
X version, metar doesn't seem to want to update automatically. With everything
enabled (fetch-weather, or real-time weather fetch) and METAR selected, metar
doesn't want to update. It freezes and no matter how many times I click Metar,
over and over again, over a period of an hour, the metar doesn't update.
I searched for METAR in the data folder to see if I can fix something that
might have gone wrong, but no luck in finding anything wrong. It seemed that
everything that should be enabled was.
