Random environment generator

Hi Guys,

I was thinking if it's worthy to create a random environment generator (external tool). Basically it could scan the scenario file (it's just a text file, so it's easy), copy it and alter the environmental settings (probably apart of SSP). Examples are time, month, sea state, wind regions etc.

To make it more realistic it could read the LATLONG coordinates to produce a realistic weather for a specific region (which could be conifgured by a XML file to avoid the effort of creating an UI).

Finally, it could append the mission description by giving some hints about the weather, time etc.

Of course, such a tool makes only sense for scenarios, which are highly replayable and dynamic.

What's your opinion?
