You used to be able to do this by including the relevant config settings for the environment in your .fgfsrc file, along with an entry to disable metar, or just disable metar on the command line so you could try real weather after initial testing (the default for metar weather used to be 'off' but it may have changed since then). I used to use the following lines in my .fgfsrc file to change the visibility settings (as I was happy to use the default wind speeds, as long as they were constant) but you could use similar entries to set the wind speeds for each level to zero if you want. --prop:environment/config/boundary/entry/visibility-m=6000 --prop:environment/config/boundary/entry[1]/visibility-m=10000 --prop:environment/config/aloft/entry/visibility-m=20000 --prop:environment/config/aloft/entry[1]/visibility-m=30000 --prop:environment/config/aloft/entry[2]/visibility-m=40000 LeeE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
