[Opensim-users] Weather System?

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Though I've never used them myself, I think it should just be a case of setting enable_windlight = true in [LightShare] 
and AllowLightShareFunctions = true in [XEngine].

Setting the windlight parameters through the normal client mechanisms should also work in OpenSimulator 0.7.4-rc1 
(though not 0.7.3.1 or before).  However, again I've never actually used these myself.
