I still use basic weather with mp so that I get the same clouds in both clients - is this still the case? Your most recent change seems to have broken the manual input gui here - sometimes it works, and sometimes the values revert to the default. We seem to have lost the ability to use /NIL as a METAR input - very useful during fdm development to remove weather effects. I'm not sure when this broke, I think it might have been something James did.
