F4Wx – Real Weather Converter

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?
-
Hi, it works again
Just downloaded 13 maps
Think it was a GFS prob

regardsProbably yeah, since trying to dowload GFS from elsewhere didn’t work either.

Hi
I still get a downloading file index error message even when attempting to download 10 day old GFS files.
Anyone else still having problems?

Yes it’s still a bit unstable sometimes. I think it’s because not all the files of the past days are there and because of this the index is missing when requesting in past days.

Agreeded, dear Obi.
It’s just what I’m experiencing in this last period - since not too much time, let’s say two weeks.
And your explaination makes my mind more clear. Thanks a lot.With best regards.

Hi,
Sorry, not having much time to check the forum. I take note of the issues of the last week, although it seems to be working ok right now. 99.9% of the times these have been caused by NOAA’s grib filter, that the program is built around, being down, and are temporary.
If anyody can provide an alternate source of GRIB data I’m happy to add it as a seondary source for F4Wx, but so far I don’t know any and we fully depend on NOAA’s infrastructure.
-
Btw the downloading file index error is still happening
-
Can we download from another site other than fmap. I found a few sites but could not understand
-
You can still use Ahmed’s old tool. grb2fmap.
I did go with this tutorial (Skip the timezone part, leave it at UTC):
and ZYgrib to download the Weather

https://mega.nz/#!UMAVFYzI!zflVdTsrUOBcnNcsbEnpZHVqgKXc3TI1GINI751zqtMIt’s a little awkward if you’re used to F4Wx because you have to do all the steps by hand, but it works.
@Ahmed: Last working set of data for me is March 23rd. Nothing after that seems to work.

@Chaser911: I followed all instructions and successfully managed to download weather files but they don’t seem to be compatible with 4.35
