Good idea, but I'm not surely exactly how to go about it while retaining some element of determinism. I'm worried about multi-computer systems, or two users at the same airport in the MP environment. It would be nice if they have as similar an environment from the same METAR as possible. One option might be to use a seed based on the METAR timestamp, but that makes this time-dependant. An alternative might be to use the airport code in the METAR, but then we'll get some airports that never get really clear CAVOK conditions. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
