[Release] WeatherGen - A BMS random weather generator
-
And about more real features: could you consider adding Autoplay button next to [Step Forward >>]?
Just saw this. Noted. Will consider it, especially as changes now under way make it more reasonable to do.
Can I ask for detail about what you’re trying to do? Are you looking for a certain pattern, a certain time, just like watching it move, or do you have some other goal?
Thanks!

Just wanted to mention here my request for TWX file format info, for two reasons. First, in case anyone with helpful information is watching this thread, but didn’t see that one. Second, because it contains some teaser info about one of the new WeatherGen features I’ve been working on.
Additional teaser: everything requested in this thread is already implemented in the next version. Plus more.

Sure. But I don’t think that will be soon, as I have a huge pile of other features I want to work on. In the meantime it should work fine even displaying one of the other maps. Like, you can just leave it on Korea and the generated weather will work. You won’t get named locations, obviously.
The more people chime in here and ask for IKAROS support, the farther up the list it will move.

Thanks, and Ikaros map would be nice.

Love the weather ‘package’ option, it was quite a chore to click the ‘save’ 48 times (I use 30 min increments) for one day!
Also, not sure if its just me or not, but the new site/tool is fairly laggy when I have it open. I’m using firefox, will try with another browser to see if its specific to FF.

Yes, it’s laggy in FF for some reason I can’t figure out. Sorry! Any ideas welcome. Works great in Chrome for me - that’s the recommended browser.

Initial post updated with the first two videos in a tutorial series. The first one is a brief explanation of the BMS weather model. Skip this one if you’re already familiar, or read the (excellent) BMS manual. The second video shows the basics of getting some weather created.
-
Initial post updated (again) with three more videos in the tutorial series, covering forecasts, weather overrides, and displaying flight plans.
Hope these are helpful. Please ask questions here if you have any.

Great application Tyrant. Thanks a bunch for your effort. Still exploring this.

Tyrant: At first great work with the weathergen it is a wonderful utility, however when I click just on the “save current as fmap” or “save twx” nothing happens (I am using chrome, save settings, load settings work fine).

Yeah, I just noticed that this week myself. Will fix soon. The workaround for now is to save a weather package and extract only the files you need - everything is in there. Sorry about that.

The fix for this is uploading now and should be available shortly. I’ll update the initial post in a bit, too. Thanks for the bug report!

Tutorial Videos help a lot

Does this also adjust weather for other seasons? Looking to do a winter campaign soon.

You can do it manually by lowering the temperatures in the temperature section. One of these days I’ll add seasonal presets to make that more convenient. But it’s the work of two minutes to do manually for now.

I’ve been using the weathergen for some time successfully now, however I have one question, often the weather changes very abruptly, I am flying through a fair weather and suddenly clouds kick in and pressure jumps. Is there a possibility to make the weather transitions smoother?
