Dave Culp:

I've got some updates for the soaring scenario that will make for a more
realistic (and fun) experience.  They are:

1)  A cap cloud, which will sit atop each thermal
2)  A thermal scenario with wide coverage around KSFO, and using cap clouds
3)  A one-line change to AIThermal.cxx to position cap cloud properly
4)  Schweizer 2-33 set file change to match cloud coverage with thermal
heights.
