Can anyone please tell me what does compiling with threads and weathercm options do?


Threads: Add a tile loader thread
WeatherCM: It is the first real weather module FlightGear had.

WeatherCM is a weather module written by Christian Mayer and isn't updated much lately (probably fro obvious reasons). It's a matter of taste which one to use, but since the Environment manager start providing features which are not part of WeatherCM I think the prefered module would be the default one.

The "slow" update cycle is due to a lack of time :(


WeatherCM could increase the functionality of the environment manager as it offers a weather that is nicely interpolated between the weatherstations - worldwide. And it can read a weatherreport from the internet with worldwide weather.

The only problem - which should be very easy to fix - is that WeatherCM uses different properties than the Environment Manager to tell FGFS the current weather conditions at the plane position (historic reasons).
So after changing the properties it should work nicely with the FDMs.


But if you want a weather that is easy to setup and only local the Environment manager is better suited.

CU,
Christian
