Subject: Add a command which will setup the temperature field in the boundary and
X-Git-Url: https://git.mxchange.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=76107017cb5495e6866029969616e5298d7c817e;p=flightgear.git

Add a command which will setup the temperature field in the boundary and
aloft layers to match a current OAT at the current altitude.  This can be
run from an external script or gui.

Given the specified OAT (and the current aircraft altitude), the code
calculates the equivalent sea level temperature, and then assigns that to
all active boundary and aloft environment layers.
