Keep the weather up to date #23

Closed dhleong closed 9 years ago

dhleong commented 9 years ago

Not sure if the network will provide it via push, or if I'll have to do a periodic fetch from Vatsim. Either way, this is probably somewhat important. Will probably need to add a top bar like Euroscope for this, although I suspect we'll want it at least for a clock or something anyway.

A brief glance at the network traffic with wireshark suggests that VRC is getting the weather over the same socket on which it does the other communications. So, I shouldn't need to pull weather over HTTP. I probably will, however, want to re-use the metar parsing functions from as-filed.
