FG does not understand "TCU" in metar.

Hi everyone,

I tried to start off at EGPF today but kept getting "No metar availlable, aborting...". I checked out the metar and saw,

"EGPF 111420Z AUTO 24013KT 9000 -RA SCT019/// BKN023/// BKN030/// //////TCU 13/11 Q1011 RERA"

I manually input the metar in FG and realized that it did not recognize "TCU" which indicates "towering cumulus". Is this a known issue?

Thank you.

Just wanted to add on that "CB" (cumulonimbus cloud) does not work as well.
