F4Wx – Real Weather Converter

Yeah absolutely. Can you guys reply with a list of the new theaters that are not yet in F4Wx? I don’t have much time right now to keep up to date with all new releases myself, but adding them to F4Wx takes a few minutes if you give me some links.
For sure!

Vietnam: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?41928-BMS-Vietnam-4-35-1
I see you’ve already done Taiwan, thank you!

Thanks a lot again for your kind and valuable attention to you both, Ahmed and Dustoff.
With best regards.

Added Vietnam and MidEast to the updater

This is generally NOAA’s server connectivity issues so not much I can do about that. They have also been changing their directory structure and GRIB parameters quite a few times in the last months so it would help if it was more stable frankly… So far it is working now so I assume it was the former.

Hello guys
The first time I start a campaign I upload the generated file, manually, and then later when I save the progress of the campaign, and I re-access the campaign at a later time, the weather files are loaded automatically? Or I have to do it manually again? -

You should only have to load one fmap file. After this, provided that you have the Maps Auto Update box checked the fmaps will load automatically (see picture below). To confirm this, note the QNH changes slightly from takeoff to landing and from mission to mission. Without this box checked you will only have the weather from the single fmap file. Hope this answers your question. Feel free to ask more, or you can reference chapter 5.6 (page 5-56) in the pdf titled Falcon BMS-Manual, located in the Docs folder.
Cheers,

Hi Ahmed,
could you please check this issue report https://bmsbugs.blu3wolf.com/view.php?id=206
I noticed something strange with the F4Wx fmap reading in BMS
thx
-
No one has any news of Ahmed? did he leave the BMS community ?
-
No, at my own knowledge (for the few this may count, of course).
But better giving him some time to answer, as in the past, I guess. Also real life needs exige some priority, more than sometimes.
My own one cent, of course.
With best regards.

Hi,
If I understand correctly, the bug is that the fmap loads correctly into the mission and you get the correct visibility, but if you leave and reload the mission the visibility will be incorrect. If this is the case, it looks to be more of a BMS issue when saving/reloading that weather than a F4Wx specific issue (although may be something that happens only with F4Wx generated fmaps and not with other tool’s). If any BMS dev can shed some light about this I’d appreciate.
Regards

It is just me having trouble downloading F4Wx fmaps or someone else is experiencing the same?

@zamcesarc works well here

Same…make sure you aren’t always trying to download the most recent upload…sometimes they aren’t complete yet and will cause failures. Pick a random one from a day or two previous.
-
@jstnj Thanks…and yes I do that; however, I am still getting ‘Error decoding weather data:decode error:0x00000000D’ when downloading weather and same message is shown on all theaters. I reinstalled F4Wx app but no change. Could this be temporary ?
-
@zamcesarc I just used it without any issues. Are you using F4Wx-1.05 ?
-
@nil Yes 1.05 version!.. BMS is not recognizing previous fmaps (for Mid East128 theater) just after I installed U3 so I decided to download latest weather updates but that is not working …before U3 all worked ok. Frankly I am not sure if that’s related or not
