The [http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/files/local_weather_fgfs2.0.0_v0.51.tgz current release v0.51] is still limited to simulating weather in a 40x40 km tile, but supports placement of regions in which visibility, rain, snow and thermal lift are set, as well as interpolation of visibility, pressure, temperature and dewpoint between preset weather stations. The system also automatically creates thermals below convective clouds which can be utilized by gliders using a CVS patch, thus providing greatly enhanced soaring capability. More details in the forum or in the Wiki article [[A local weather system]]. | The [http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/files/local_weather_fgfs2.0.0_v0.51.tgz current release v0.51] is still limited to simulating weather in a 40x40 km tile, but supports placement of regions in which visibility, rain, snow and thermal lift are set, as well as interpolation of visibility, pressure, temperature and dewpoint between preset weather stations.

Help with texturing cloud models, developing and improving shader effects, testing, merging with the C++ code or increasing the library of availabe weather tiles is highly appreciated! | |||
