I suggest to name it data/Docs/README.Real-WX
Real-world Weather Update
=========================
Launch fgfs with the following two command-line switches in addition to
whatever else you put there:
$ fgfs --prop":/environment/params/real-world-weather-fetch"=true
--prop":/environment/params/control-fdm-atmosphere"=true
(Unfortunately, if you try to turn these properties on after the program
has started, it doesn't work.)
Alternatively, you can add the two switches to your $HOME/.fgfsrc,
or change the corresponding properties in $FG_ROOT/preferences.xml
This will allow you to enjoy real-world weather as reported on
the NOAA site, currently at http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtml
You can also use the metar(1) program, coming with flightgear,
to query the NOAA site from the command line in text format.
