F4Wx – Real Weather Converter

first file goes to save folder and all to weather folder inside save folder… all done by instinct no rtfm.
Dear Arty (and Ahmed, of course),
just a clarification for that tremendous noob I am: the ‘first file’ you’re talking of is that one ‘*.fmap’ created after having saved the data? And those ‘all’ are perhaps saved in the ‘data’ folder’, so you have to put them in the weather folder after extracting them from the ‘data’ folder?
My apologies in advance for my English, only hope I made myself and my questions understandable the same.
With best regards,

Any chance of a 64 bit version for those of us with memory to spare and incentive to abuse our hardware?

Works ok on 64bit.@Jackal you select where to save the file or files according to your selection. So I would select to save them directly to falcon folders.
If u create one file only save it in
C:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Campaign\Saveif u create a sequence
select to save here: C:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Campaign\Save\WeatherMapsUpdatesand then move the first file here:
C:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Campaign\Save -
Thanks Ahmed, looking great!

Thanks. Great job.

EDIT: Never mind, it looks like your program requires the 32bit version. Works fine now.
I just tried running the program and receive a message about a missing MSVCP140.dll file.
I tried installing VCRUN2015 (64 bit version), but it tells me it’s already installed on my system.
Any ideas?
Thanks Uwe

He meant WOW64 allows any 32 bit program to be run in 64 bit windows. He was requesting a version that takes advantage of 64 bit

There is a chance, but to be honest the only time I have run out of memory was by generating 1 min interval fmaps for POH (128 segments) theater for 16 days. The practical use of doing this, aside from testing the program, is nil.
For a more normal case: 16 day weather at 1 fmap each hour (default) in POH theater uses 168MB, and will use around 100mb of hard-drive space once saved.
-
…and those 100mb make for a perfect marriage between Falcon and weather conditions!
Ahmed, no words to express our gratitude!
A BIG Thank you, mate!
-
And the point is?
And where are those famous FAQ?I guess you didnt read the README.txt then… which is enclosed in the opening post.
Cheers Ahmed!

Pretty sure discussing the readme, thanking the coder, and requesting features are all on topic for a release thread.

Arty,
thanks a lot, also because you’ve found out the time to answer me and quickly too.
It’s all more clear for me now.With best regards,

Tested it yesterday! I must say, beautiful work Ahmed!:D
-
Amazing work!
Thank you dude! -
Awesome tool, I am not able to change my start day in the sequence. It always stays on day 1. Am I missing something here?

Aw shite…. you found a bug sir! Will fix either today or during the weekend
EDIT: uploaded new build with this bug fixed

Thanks for awesome tool. Only thing is since this morning it seems I cannot download any file index. I read about selecting a prior GFS data, but it doesn’t work either. Maybe something wrong on NOAA’s side?
