It actually does (or should do?) this. I had a "disable-real-weather-fetch" in 
my first version but found it obsolete since selecting a scenario other 
than "Real World" should allways imply this.
Maybe I didn't do that right. I will look into that.

That's a good point and I'll change it for consitency reasons. Some kind of 
preferences dialog just pops into my mind, allowing the user to select 
inHg/hPa, degC/degF etc. for input dialogs...

Instant-Apply sets the weather immediately while Apply does it slowly with 
only small changes. If you Apply noninstantly in flight, rapid wind or 
pressure changes may make your aircraft unflyable.
