 ===Gusting wind and improved weather scenarios===
-Thanks to some work by Torsten Dryer, the weather in FG just got a bit more challenging. When flying in real list, gusty wind conditions (as opposed to turbulence) can make landing and taking off rather tricky - especially when you suddenly lose 10 kts of airspeed on short final! FG now supports gusting wind when indicated by METAR. Furthermore, you can now define your own weather scenarios in XML, rather than being restricted to Fair Weather, Thunderstorm, [[METAR]] or None.
