Hi Guys, I think I've found a bug in the new weather environment code.
I started up at Austin Bergstrom International (KAUS), a fairly large Texas airport with runways 17L/R, 35L/R. The METAR had wind of 9 knots at 190 degrees. I would expect FG to start on runway 17. Instead it starts on 35L. Looking at the Global Weather dialog immediately after startup shows the wind passing through 260 degrees as it veers around to 190. I suspect that when the runways selection code is run, the wind is still at 0 heading, causing runway 35L to be chosen. Given this and the previously reported problem with pressure settings (which still changes too slowly IMO - the pressure is often still changing after I've set the altimeter) I think we need to be explicitly setting the environment on initialization, rather than relying on the interpolation XML to interpolate to the current METAR or config. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
