ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
When you get a takeoff or landing clearance the tower will always first give you the actual wind and then give you the clearance.
Example: Cessna ABC, wind 360 at 15 gusting 25 , Cleared for T/O (Cleared to Land)

The Altimeter or QNH is never given with this clearance. If there has been a change in value, the tower will first give you the Altimeter/QNH as a completely separate info.

Certainly already requested. I wanted to add my vote but didn’t find the post in this Wishlist section (I only saw the bug reporting post closed because “it’s by design”).

Please, remove QNH from the T/O clearance and add Wind. It will improve realism.

Landing at KSFB (VFR), ATC provided wind information.
Don’t know if there are requirements for an airport to have the ATC providing that information.

Departing from KSFB (VFR), ATC is only reporting QNH, should be the wind information instead as mentioned by @Vincent1064 & @Falcas4098 :

So issue seems to be only with the take off clearance ATC message, not the landing one.

@Falcas4098 : could you check if for the landing clearance you are getting or not the wind information from the ATC ?

Yes I can confirm you now get the wind (semi correctly) with the landing clearance.
This has been changed with SU1 if I remember correctly.
However with the T/O clearance this is still incorrectly giving the QNH and not the wind.

About the (semi correctly) the wind is given with a degree exactly. Example Wind 107 at 10. This should be rounded to the next full 10 degrees. For this example Wind 110 at 10.
But that is for another bugreport.
