I have checked the submodel wind. The calculations appear to be correct, and

The only way to set a temperature is by setting
/environment/temperature-sea- level-degc which calculates the temperature
at altitude based on ICAO standard atmosphere.
That's a little disappointing. Hopefully a

Trivial from C++, unfortunately tricky from Nasal right now. This needs an

Ok, quick test with a new pull and it seems like heading and speeds

Hi Torsten,
While we are on the subject, I have two dumb, but related questions ...
1. I do some UAV work and at times collect some real world flight test data.
It would be really nice to be able to capture the current metar data off
the internet at the time of the flight, save it into some
Hi all,
Here's an example video replaying a real flight in FlightGear.

Hi Curt,
without having tested this, it might work like this:
Either tie a nasal listener to /environment/metar/data, which contains the raw
metar text, and write it's content using nasal to a file. The io module should
be able to handle this.
Or create a generic protocol writing out

I'm also unsure why you bring up altitude above ground, as winds aloft
are stated above sea level and in true headings are they not?
Hi,
I don't really know what to make of it...but hope solution
can be found as I've started to grow tired of real-weather-fetch and
would like to be able to set up more realistic (and less annoying)
weather conditions, for longer distance cross country trips
especially.
