Improved the turbulence calculations and DHM control when the Live Weather Engine is not active. These effects are limited to lower atmospheric and 'in cloud' effects. Inversion layer effects, site specific effects, and upper atmospheric effects such as CAT (Clear Air Turbulence) cannot be determined when the LWE is inactive as all detailed OpusFSI weather map and GRIB forecast data is missing.

 

The OpusFSI.DLL library can now be up to 14 days out of date for the licence validation checks. The OpusPDK Oculus configuration option is automatically disabled on start up.

When the aircraft is sat on the ground, the departure airport's available runways are now displayed within the 'on-screen' Local Weather Report. Similar to the destination and alternates, these runways are always listed in preferred order of use based on the current surface wind direction.
