Read and use Historic Weather #19

Closed TwinFan closed 5 years ago

TwinFan commented 5 years ago

Current Situation / Problem Weather is configured in X-Plane, which might be configured to use current real weather or a given weather file, but is not synched with historic data if such is used in LiveTraffic. If especially wind direction doesn't match then landings/take offs could be simulated from the 'wrong' runway the user wouldn't use for his/her arrival/departure.

Suggested Solution Read and use historic weather, maybe from sites like http://www.ogimet.com/metars.phtml.en http://www.ogimet.com/display_metars2.php?lang=en&lugar=EDDL&tipo=SA&ord=REV&nil=NO&fmt=txt&ano=2018&mes=04&day=27&hora=10&anof=2018&mesf=04&dayf=27&horaf=11&minf=0&send=send when running with historic data.

Alternatives Manual workaround:

Benefits Correct weather for historic flights, especially meaningful for correct active departure/arrival runway.

Historic traffic data is out, so is historic weather.
