New issue 535 by bco...@gm...: METAR parameters entered via the  
command line are ignored
http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=535

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch Flight Gear with the following command line
fgfs --disable-real-weather-fetch --metar="XXXX 012345Z 07315KT 50SM FEW015  
SCT025 BKN035 OVC090 15/M01 A3092"

2. The weather is fair and for instance the wind direction is incorrect  
(check the windsock on the left hand side of the airplane)

3. Open the menu Environment/Global Weather (I mean just open it, don't  
click on any of the dialog buttons) and the weather parameters become  
suddenly correct (the windsock points to the correct direction)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is that the weather should be set correctly without  
needing to open the dialog Environment/Global Weather
