Well, FlighGear has its own atmosphere model that is also used by the other subsystems (e.g. instruments, weather reports, visual system, AI traffic and whatnot). So far there has been few reasons not use that model also for the FDM. I think the FDM only needs to know the atmospheric properties "here and now" while a whole simulation system such as FG (idealy) needs more than that (not that we are there yet, but Thorsten R's work is interesting and promising). I'd like to see the wind socks reflect the condition at their position rather than the conditions where my aircraft is eventually.
