The --real-weather-fetch is great. You find yourself madly scrambling to look up the local ATIS frequency when you're approaching your destination. It gets very interesting when the weather changes tho as there is no gradual transition so its just *bang* you're there! You also find yourself madly scrambling to look up the local ATIS frequency when you're approaching your destination. Can be quite interesting when you're negotiating the Cotswolds under low cloud and then you suddenly find yourself in a pea-souper ;-) The lack of transition can play havoc with the 172's autopilot too (usually delivers you into a spin/stall). Despite this the weather effects are so good in FG that I always fly with real weather and in real time :-) ps: David you have Mail (taxiways).
