DCS Real Weather

DCS Real Weather is program meant to be incorporated into a DCS server's restart cycle. The utility fetches the most recent weather report (METAR) from a selected airport and attempts to make the weather conditions inside a provided mission file match the report. When configured this way, a server can run a static mission file but regularly update the weather conditions automatically. The utility can also update time of day based off the current time and a given offset if desired.
