I keep checking the weather conditions in Bermuda so that I may have some wild rides in FlightGear. Naturally I don't want to sound prurient about any damage or suffering that Flo may cause, seems unlikely at this moment. But can you believe that I have never flown in inclement weather in FlightGear. Some mild wind is all I have had to handle. Then again I have not been flying that long and yes .fgfsrc is set to --enable-real-weather-fetch. Hopefully Bermuda won't get too much of Flo but if they do I will be right there with them in FlightGear.
I do have a question about the Metar. The Metar service is set to 240? minutes by default in preferences.xml. I have changed this value to 30 minutes, is this a good idea. I guess the parameters would involve server bandwidth and how often the Metar service itself updates. I assume weather stations would update about every 30 to 60 minutes but then if I'm wrong feel free to correct me. fubadubrub -- ___________________________________________________ Now you can search for products and services http://search.mail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
