The error (which is now 4 months old) about FG has not been solved (the bug relationship between menu error and the missing 3Dclouds is close to) I guess we will continue longer with it probably not solved. For my personnal use, I am making some patchs which will activate METAR permanently with 3DClouds. :=) NB:The beach close to YBBN seems to be wonderful, is it ?
