#10 add support for FD text (winds aloft)

[Etienne Tourigny]

Greetings,

Are there any plans to get FD text data? I would use
that for flight planning purpose. I am a seaconed php
programmer so I have no qualms in getting my hands dirty.

Do you know any public facilities for retrieving FD
text previsions (winds aloft) for international areas?
The U.S. noaa web-site and ftp site give you that
information but for US areas only.

I don't have any plans to add this to PHP Weather, but
you're very welcome to do so :-) PHP Weather could use such
a new feature...

I'm not an aviator, so I don't really know all that much
about this stuff, neither do I know where you can get this
kind of information for European airports. But try asking
the NOAA, perhaps they know something.

I've been doing some work in this direction. I'll probably
just include it in my soon-to-be-ready-for-a-release php
flight planning project, which uses phpweather. If anyone
sees a use for this in phpweather, please say so.
