Thanks for the bug report. I will take a look at it soon. And yes, I realize I’ve been saying “soon” to the above for a long time. Sorry! Life, you know? I really do plan to spend some time on this and the other reports in the near future.
BTW the attachment doesn’t seem to work - I get an error when I click on the link.

The attachment seems to be broken for me too. Heres a new one.

OK, thanks. I can see that one. Lazy question: which theater?

So not only a lazy question but a dumb one on my part! I see you were clear about that from the beginning. I was assuming polar vortex was a campaign name in one of the existing theaters. Never even heard of the theater. I’ll have to install it and check it out.
I will say that many of the less-used theaters contain garbage data that throws VMT off. Even Balkans was a problem for a while. But I’ll take a look and see what I can figure out.

I thought polar vortex was pretty well known, there was even a TvT on it.

I’m sure it is. It’s a measure of how sadly disconnected I have become these last few years. Just haven’t been able to fit flying in at this stage of life/family/etc.
Anyway, thanks for the report! I will look into it and get back to y’all.

Nothing to report yet, other than that I actually did spend time on this this weekend. Upgraded BMS and installed a few theaters before I ran out of time. Will work on this again soon - I’m putting my other side projects on hold until I can address these issues.

Good news! I believe I have Kuwait and Polar Vortex working. Apparently the XML files that make up part of the database can have gaps in them, where two consecutive items don’t have consecutive indicies. I’ve accounted for this now. Also, VMT was attempting to load images it doesn’t have a path to. There’s still a bug where it’s not computing the path correctly but at least now it will load the campaign. This bug is visible in the Polar Vortex campaign in that the flag for Germany (and I think Sweden) don’t show up properly. But I think I will put this out as it is on the dev channel for y’all to test out and try to figure out what’s up with those flags later.
Unfortunately I’m still completely stumped on your issue, Jackal. It’s possible that something I did in this release fixed it, but it would be by accident. Still, give it a try and see what it does. There are still a few things we can try if it’s not working for you.

Great news! Thanks for the update Tyrant!

Thanks a lot for your attention and your time spent in solving that weird issue, dear Tyrant…
I too hope you got to solve it.I will let you know how it ended further.
With best regards.

Many thanks, Tyrant for this tool !
but if I may, just one point should be improved first: include the reading of the meteo fmap file and those available in the WeatherMapsUpdates directory.
this would be the best to prepare the briefings! -

this would be the best to prepare the briefings!Yes, this is on my to-do list. I think it would be even better to make existing weather editable. Like, you could use that cool real-world weather app someone wrote, but then put overrides in it, so you’d have realistic weather but with a popup thunderstorm at landing.
Thanks for the suggestion - hope to get to it some day.

Ah well - not surprised, but would have been nice.
Not really sure what else to try at this point. I’ll have to think on it.

Dear Tyrant,
This tool is great!! With ground force would be Top!

<p>Hi Tyrant,<br /> I am flying in a virtual suadron in GE.<br />We have difficulties in our squadron to keep track of the created TEs. We have created different TEs for many training flights, which have different levels in terms of weather, type and number and armament of enemy aircraft and SAMs, as well as the number of minimum and maximum pilot seats to be occupied by our own forces. With your knowledge of Falcon BMS, would you be able to create a tool that displays an overview of all the TEs in the Campaign folder, preferably in .html format, so that it can be displayed in a browser?<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Prot</p>

Hi @Tyrant
I’m having difficulty loading any CAM or TAC files for any theatres. It worked but then stopped, I have no idea what changed. I’ve reinstalled (re downloaded and unzipped) VMT in various locations, but keep getting this error.

I hope this great tool is still being developed or at least maintained.

Hi Tyrant,
Do you plan to upgrade this wonderful tool so it can works even on 4.36?
Many thanks!!
