There are two ways:
(1) Use the "metar" program that comes with fgfs. It does not only
fetch METAR data from a station, but does also decode a METAR
string. If you use the -c option, then it outputs a set of
properties, that you can use directly in FlightGear. (I'm not
sure if all or them are still right, though.) E.g.:
$ fgfs `metar -e 183 -c "LOWL 161500Z 19004KT 160V240 ..."`
Note that you need to specify the elevation, or the cloud
layers are placed wrongly (ASL rather than AGL).
(2) Use the metarproxy program from /utils/metarproxy/.
It can be used to record and replay METAR data, and you can,
of course, add hand-crafted METAR sets to its data, too.
You just need to make sure that you run fgfs at a time for
which data is available.
