reported Max temperature too low; real weather impossible

[Nealius]

The max temperature possible on the map is 40C. This makes it impossible to set realistic weather. Example:

Today's forcast at Tarinkot is high of 41C. Not only are we not able to set 41C, when we set 40C, the in-game OAT at Tarinkot becomes 31C because it is at about 4,500ft elevation. In order to get correct temperature at Tarinkot, we have to add 9C (2C per 1,000) to real-world reported temp to the mission editor temp, e.g. 50C to get a desired reading of 41C at Tarinkot.

Due to the DCS weather engine applying ME weather at sea level, and Afghanistan is largely above 3,000ft elevation, a max temp of 40C means that we effectively can't set any mission temp higher than about 34C.

The same problem is with min temp, 16C in January, in the real it is even -12C (sea level).

(edit: it depends from the preset)

Is erroneous maximum temp limit also reported? This thread was ignored for months while a specific one about erroneous minimum temperature was addressed within a week.

Hi @Nealius, it is reported, thank you.
