The weights may be set using the property tree:

/tmp/runway-search/length        (runway length weight)
/tmp/runway-search/width         (runway width weight)
/tmp/runway-search/surface       (surface type weight)
/tmp/runway-search/deviation     (heading alignment weight)

Setting these should be possible in the aircraft definition (?? I'm no 
aircraft developer). Though it might be that the initialization sequence 
works against you.

Taking wind into account is impossible with the current startup sequence, as 
the runway is chosen before the environment system is initialized (see 
Melchiors original post). I suspect changing that is a bit of a challenge, 
given the complicated internal dependencies between modules. Looking forward 
to being proven wrong... ;-)
