I did not know the "metar" tool until now and tried to find out more about how to use it. There is a little help displayed when you start it without any parameters and all the stuff like "./metar -c eddw" or "./metar -c eddw -r eddw" works fine. Nice tool! But despite searching the docs, the wiki and via Google I could not find any other documentation how to use it together with FlightGear. I want to start FlightGear with a given, older METAR string to have that special weather condition using this "metar" tool like your proposal. But as constructs like ./fgfs "metar -c < 'SampleMet.txt'" manymore FG-Params failed I tried something more simple like ./fgfs "metar -c eddw" manymore FG-Params like the help sample $fgfs `metar -e 183 -c loww` but this all does not work. I tried a lot of thinkable variations, but no luck. So I have to ask: 1. Is the use of the "metar" tool really the only option to get an old METAR string into FlightGear? 2. How do I use it correctly as a Start-Parameter for FlightGear? Of course, there is the possibility to copy the FG-Parameter-Output of "metar -c eddw" and paste it into my special starter program. But this seems a little too complicated if one wants to set some SPECIAL Metar conditions from a METAR archive. Anyway, thankyou for your help to point to the metar tool and the link for getting some prior METARs.
