I tried contriving my own METAR string and using a command like this:
fgfs --metar="KPAO 220847Z 31008KT 5SM OVC080 14/14 A2992"
but it just complained about it being an unknown option. Also I tried
yet another method that I found mention of in my searching:
fgfs `metar -c kpao`
but that just sets a bunch of variables via the --prop method that I was
trying before.
Would using the cvs version be better? I might try that just to see
what happens

Hi Ben,
There was some recent work with the environment manager system.
Hopefully someone else can speak more authoritatively on this, but you
may need to specify your desired initial conditions as a METAR string.
Can we still set individual properties like this?
Curt.

Hi all,
I'm trying to do use Flightgear to practice instrument flying and
I want
flightgear to start up with an overcast layer. I've been trying
to have
the layer at 800 feet MSL and 1500 feet thick. I realize I could set
this in the GUI but would prefer to specify on the command line.
I'm running FG 1.9.1 and have tried all kinds of command lines without
satisfactory results. All of these have no apparent effect:
--ceiling=800:1500
--prop:/environment/clouds/layer/coverage=overcast \
--prop:/environment/clouds/layer/elevation-ft=800 \
--prop:/environment/clouds/layer/thickness-ft=1500
--prop:/environment/clouds/layer/type=overcast \
--prop:/environment/clouds/layer/elevation-ft=800 \
--prop:/environment/clouds/layer/thickness-ft=1500
I've also tried the last two options with "layer[0]" and "layer[1]"
(really stabbing in the dark here) but with no effect. I even tried
specifying a ceiling with "--metar" which I found from googling the
topic but which seems to have been deprecated.
The only command line parameter I've found so far that did
anything with
the clouds was "--enable-real-weather-fetch" ... however I don't
necessarily want the real weather, I want to specify my own.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I feel sad that I've spent the last
hour trying to get this simple thing working without luck
Thanks,
Ben
