WEATHERSET2.EXE   Version 1.32   19th September 2003
====================================================

An FS2004 weather manipulation program, using
the New Weather interface in FSUIPC (version
3.049b onwards).

Freeware by Peter Dowson.

NOTE that this is primarily devised as a test
program for the FSUIPC New Weather interface.
It is not guaranteed to work in all circumstances,
nor will it necessarily be maintained. It is
quite interesting and even useful, however.


==================================================
TO USE:
==================================================

Ensure FSUIPC.DLL version 3.049b or later is placed
into the modules folder of FS2004.

Run FS2004. When it is up and running, run
WEATHERSET2.EXE.

WEATHERSET2 will stay running if FS2004 is
terminated, and will optionally re-connect to
FSUIPC when FS2004 is restarted. See the 
FlightSim menu for AutoConnect, Connect and
Disconnect options.

You can run WEATHERSET2 on a Networked PC, using
WideFS version 5.991 or later to link to
FS2004 and FSUIPC.


==================================================
FACILITES
==================================================

WEATHERSET2 provides the following facilities:


READING weather:

1. Reads all weather data from FS2004 ... by
   default the weather at the user aircraft. To
   display weather at any Weather Station, press
   the Return key in the "Station" section and
   enter the ICAO (or GLOB for Global). To read
   the weather at any location on Earth, do the
   same but enter a valid Latitude and Longitude
   instead of an ICAO identifier. To return to the
   aircraft weather, do the same but enter
   nothing.

2. Provides manual or automatic (periodic) refresh
   of displayed data, with the automatic refresh
   defaulting. (see File menu).

WRITING weather

3. Provides a facility to clear all weather. This
   also resets Dynamic Weather to stop changes. It
   is a good idea to do this before trying to
   apply any other changes as FS2004's morphing,
   interpolation and dynamic features will otherwise
   give quite unexpected results!
   
and for a selected Weather Station (or "GLOB"):

4. Allows individual layers in any weather section
   be be Deleted (use the Delete key) or Modified
   (use the Return key). Select the appropriate
   entry first, via the layer numbers and either a 
   Mouse, or Tab between sections then cursor up
   and down. note that Altitudes cannot be modified.
   You have to delete and insert (see 9.)

5. New layers can be inserted before a selected
   layer by pressing the Insert key and filling in
   the details. In order to allow layers to be
   added at the end of a list, a dummy entry is
   always present at the end.
