F4Wx – Real Weather Converter
-
when ı run F4Wx-Real Weather Converter i have 0xc000007b error at a time
Do you get any other info with this error? This alone is not enough to trace the cause.
the whole field above is empty and no weather forecast is there that i can select
Hey Spit, looks like the connection to the NOAA server is not succeeding. Maybe you have a firewall blocking F4Wx?

Hello, Ahmed.
I have a perhaps silly question for you.I have now installed 4.33.1 U5 and 4.34 both installed on my system.
How could I learn on which of those two F4Wx is ‘pointed’ to? And could I be able to select or switch F4Wx among them?Thanks a lot in advance, and best compliments again for your useful utility.

Assuming you’re usong the latest 1.01, it only supports 4.34, so you can rest assured that it’s ‘pointing’ at 4.34, not 4.33. I’ve only used the program once, but you as the user tell it where to save the fmaps anyway. Unless, by “pointing to”, you’re referring to the time sync options between F4Wx and BMS 4.34?

Planehazza,
useful and clear answer this yours, thanks a lot.
Well, no, I was too much unclear perhaps… as I intended to, it was between 4.33.1 U5 and 4.34 root directories.
With best regards.

v1.0 and later are only compatible with BMS 4.34 due to the lots of weather engine improvements in the new BMS.
The last version that worked on 4.33 is v1.0b49 Beta, and that works on 4.33 ONLY. I don’t want to confuse anyone by posting download links to older versions here but, if anyone is interested in downloading the old 4.33 version, feel free to drop me a pm for download links.
There are no plans on making a switchable version compatible with both 4.33 and 4.34 as the present and near future of Falcon is BMS 4.34
-
Thanks a lot, Ahmed. It’s all crystal clear now.
With best regards.

I tried downloading the new version from both sites, but cannot open the *.rar archives.- Winrar and Winzip tells there are no valid .rar archives.-

Both links work fine here wit WinRAR

Here is the software zipped instead of rar : https://www.dropbox.com/s/aiqgoqux3waxec8/F4Wx-1.01.zip?dl=0
I will delete the link after you downlad though, as this is not to make a mirror !

Your winrar is from 1998 …
Try updating winrar to ver5.xx , OR USE … 7ZIP -
Added Kuwait Theater preset into the built-in updater!

Hi. Sorry for my English (Yandex translator). Thank you very much for the program. What the checkbox means “Download Forecast”? Thanks.

It is the maximum amount of hours to download from the server. If you only need to create weather for 72h you could set that value to 72 and avoid downloading the whole data from the server. The default value is MAX that downloads all the IIRC 16 days of forecast that NOAA offers.

The archive files seem to stay stuck on 12th of June, most likely a NOAA issue I guess?
And will be okay again in days to come?Cheers Obi1

Hi,
The auto-updater does not seem to work for me. I run the exe with admin privileges, but the Kuwait theater is not in the list as I’m stuck on the 53 build. Is there any other place where I can get the new f4wx-config.dat?
Thanks in advance,
Nicolas

I got it failing for me too in a previous build, in any case I have to re-code the auto-updater at some point as the current one was a placeholder during beta. You can get the latest config file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aa5w44p94lk353k/?raw=1

NOAA changed server directory structure. Requires F4Wx update. Will try to get it done in the next few days.

I also still use another older F4wx version to still get 4.33 version weather files. Could the fix also be made possible for this ‘older’ 4.33 version?
I really hope it can be fixed for both types 4.33 and 4.34 versions.Cheers Obi1

I don’t maintain a code branch for the 4.33 version so most likely I’m afraid not. I may take a look into it but it will take time as I don’t have much lately. For now I’ll fix the 4.34 version either today or in the next few days
