Hi all, I have just pushed a rather huge patch after some weeks of coding. It's a major overhaul of the environment controller managing and applying real weather, interpolation of weather layers etc.
It's main intention is to decouple all the individual modules and make them more configurable through xml based rules. As an example, interpolation over time is not hard coded in c++ any more, but implemented as a property-rule (digital filters from the autopilot system). These rules live in FGDATA/Environment. Another feature is that any environment value can be changed at any time without the need for reinitializing the environment subsystem.This should make it easier to implement other (better?) environment systems, like the local-weather-system prototype in Nasal. Also under development (but not yet commited) is the implementation of another real-world weather, provided by www.navlost.eu (NWX) giving us not only METAR but also world-wide ALOFT wind data and temperature. As a side effect, the dialogs for weather-scenario, weather-conditions, clouds and precipitations have been merged into a single dialog. Not everything is working perfectly by now and will be fixed over the next days. If something is terribly wrong, please drop me a line.
