Ahh okay, so AW can use either method.

My concern was if the item was non-functional (in the absence of the local-weather-specific block) : then I’d be aiming to hide the items, or grey them out, when AW is enabled. 

So long as they are approximately functional (based off METAR), I can remove the warning message, I think. Although, I’ll wait for Stuart to comment to make sure.

Kind regards,
