F4Wx – Real Weather Converter
-
The problem in general is that Falcon 4 theaters are not 100% conformal to the real areas they represent, so you can’t get 1:1 representation everywhere. I normally use the temperature overlay to try to get the best fit on what to use. This is what I could see today for Korea with the current coordinates, that looks ‘close enough’ IMO:
I can’t see your attachment Ahmed

Lets try it again
For your clouds photo comparison vs windy.com also bear in mind that GFS data contains several cloud layer data. F4Wx selects the most significative of this data and fits it to what the BMS weather engine allows to depict (and disregards the rest). And for the weather type selection it further takes into account some additional parameters, like precipitation, to select the most appropriate one for the general conditions in that particular cell. Thus, having some differences with windy.com that straight away paints all GFS data is something to be expected. The overall weather you get in the sim should still be a very good representation of the real weather at that particular point.

and so the “Sync with realtime” option zone is now useless
Yes, I overlooked that one and it is still syncing to local time (d’oh!). It would still have a use otherwise. Unless it is bothering people much, I’ll wait until I finish some other work before pushing an update to fix that.

errr… something has changed , but NOT in F4wx … but in BMS …
I can’t load neither fmap in “Weather Commander” which is saved with the mission file in 4.35 (Korea, Balkans, my custom balkans)… So, please check that first.
When fmaps are created with F4wx I can open/edit them with “WC” no problem. … , or even old original fmaps in campaign dir eg “TvT Coop Event/ Sunny/ Poor”… etc.
But the moment you load that “original” in BMS weather … eg… 10500.fmap or any… and press “Save WTH” , that will save new fmap named as your tac/cam file … and that one is “index out of bounds” in WC…
That should be same file which was loaded via BMS weather … copy/paste.But now WC cannot recognize new file at all.
Has something changed format fmaps saved in BMS or there is something I don’t know about ?

Is that a F4Wx or a WC issue? I don’t understand the issue from your post. If this is F4Wx related please attach the particular files giving problems and/or steps to reproduce.

Hey,
Sorry was way to busy here and so WC version compatible with 4.35 was not released yet.
But it is now.gr Falcas

Good to see you back again Falcas.
Cheers Obi1

No Ahmed. NOT in F4Wx-> "errr… something has changed , but NOT in F4wx … but in BMS "
… now that is resolved, Anyway. I’ve posted here since I saw people have problems with fmaps, so just a hunch… For me F4wx works entirely OK.

i didnt understand
why do you think there is a problem in BMS ?
i am asking before spending time to chase a ghost maybe ?
-
Meh my bad… I WAS wrong. It was a problem in “Weather Commander” … not in BMS// – to cut story short … everything is clear in transcript from the first post
Sorry for that MAV… No ghost chase I’m afraid…yet

جزاك الله خيرا اخي الكريم احمد:D
-
is now there something wrong ? impossible to download GFS
-
Same problem here
-
-
We can use this for now.
I get bad map in the sim for some reason…
-
IIRC, grb2fmap is the piece of software Ahmed made first and from which F4Wx emerged from. It hasn’t been updated since 2016 and is probably not compatible with 4.35… not even with 4.34 I assume.
-
You can open generated FMAP with the latest WC and save it again.
For the single TE, it is enough.
Maybe for the campaign MAP UPDATE, we need a batch file… -
Really hope that this will be back in working order asap. Ahmed, pleeeese confirm that this is the case.

Wonder why its suddenly not downloading GFS?
