Nono. The metar data are first downloaded immediately at startup, then downloaded again once every minute if the nearest station has changed, else in 15 minutes intervals in any case. m. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

That is: at top level as direct child of . I have never tried it into $FG_ROOT/preferences.xml. Instead I use it in my local $FG_HOME/preferences.xml, which I load via --config.

Where do you put the part? I tried in preference.xml this has no effect.
I put it in myplane-set.xml it does work. But only for that Aircraft.
The stormy scenario needs more heavy clouds.

It's apparently turned off by default, now. You can turn it on again in the menu under "View/Rendering options". Also look into the new dialog under "Weather/Weather scenario". --prop:/sim/renering/clouds3d-enable=1 should work. I have this in my $FG_HOME/preferences.xml (which is loaded via --config): true true true true true true true true true What I forgot to mention, and what isn't perfect yet, is the mixture of 3d clouds with plane cloud layers. This causes ugly cutoff effects. And night/day transition doesn't work well when warping. m. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
