Yes, there's a script that checks if a hard-coded vector elevation
sampling works or if you have to do repeated goedinfo calls. If the system
is to be compatible with 2.0.0 and to make use of GIT features to speed it
up, it has to have some way of knowing if the features exist, and one way
to do so is to simply call the function and catch if an error occurs. As
the message says, any errors between the bars are completely harmless -
they just mean you don't have hard-coded support for a feature.

Okay, in weather_tiles.nas line 1484 there's the command

setprop(lw~"tiles/code","glides_sky");

which should read

setprop(lw~"tiles/code","gliders_sky");

(a typo _glides_ for _gliders_) - that's probably the cause of the error.

It's now completely user-configurable - if your machine doesn't support
the luxury eye-candy options, why not switch off dynamics and reduce
visible range and see the framerates double? The manual shows how to:

http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/files/README.local_weather.html

(especially section 3, performance setting and 9, performance tuning -
it's all there... also in Docs/README.local_weather.html)
