Aaaah. Mate… that’s not bug, - it is a feature. In BMS , weather is
“moving” (since it was implemented so, … 4.3x… can’t remember)… but yeah.Did not new that and actually it a great feature.
I now have to make several WX areas over the map and it will dynamically changed.
This sim is never stops to surprise me with its realism. -

I now have to make several WX areas over the map and it will dynamically changed.Yes, that was idea behind it , so we can have some “dynamics” in weather … so it not static for hour(s) -… as also in reality cold/warm front is moving in some “general” direction.
This sim is never stops to surprise me with its realism.
Well… yes. … I mean it is not exactly “real” as whole weather map is just “circling” form one end of the map to another… depends on some “general” wind direction…
But it gives some sense of immersion - it is not a static picture…
So not real …, but more immersive , would be choice of words here.But as you can see from my 2 pictures above , it seems something has bricked with wind map, it shouldn’t look like that “mechanical”, even on campaign save… bah… not big deal , but still… looks wrong.
@Falcas
OK,… it seems that Weather Commander have a problem with Wind , Visibility , Cloud Size, …
Any fmap that I open has this “Mechanical” picture on this tabs… F4wx created or original KTO ones… all have problems with those tabs.
Can you check, M8, when have time.Nothing , just checking how are you… Hello.
(forgot to check that I was running ARHAIC version of WC… blah- MY VERY BAD)
Cheers -
New version available, latest is 1.5.0.25

you are the best

@Falcas it would be good to add a new feature that allows you to copy and paste all the weather data from one cell to another.

FMAP extracted from F4WX : Is there a problem with the cloud base: 3000ft appears with a black colour as if the value were higher than the surrounding clouds?
-
here the same FMAP after it was read & saved in BMS
I suspect that the cells with 3000ft are over 9000ft…
-
no one has been able to verify this point? Am I the only one who’s surprised to get such FMAP cards, or that FMAPs are being rebuilt in this way in Weather Commander?
In Weather Commander, the 3000 cells are probably reading the fmap wrong or getting confused about non-standard weather scenarios. F4Wx should not normally produce fmaps that make such a big jump in the clouds, as it just interpolates data form the real GRIB files …
-
F4WX is not fully compatible with BMS 4.37 2 at the moment.
Maybe that’s the reason. -
@suhkoi69 Did you download the same grib2 file then drop the grib2 file on Interactive Maps and save to .fmap and then open in WC.
What do you get in that case?WC does some interesting stuff to float pressure values; It rounds everything to the nearest mb which is a massive pressure adjustment. Can be 2 inches Sea Level rise or fall. from the pressure.
Anyway can you try the grib2 file you have and drop on the Interactive Maps and save as .fmap and the load in WC? What do you get?
Interactive Map (maps.falcon-bms.com) understands the grib2 encoding.
-
@ohommes good idea!
I do it -
there is also some issues with Interative Maps
below the fmap read in WC
cloud base
Fog Alt
-
now I read the grib2 file given by Interactive Maps in F4WX to generate a new FMAP
I read this new FMAP in WC
cloud base
fog alt -> nothing I need to read Fmaps to BMS and save it
After saving the FMAP in BMS
cloud base

fog Alt
-
@suhkoi69 Can you make the grib2 available? I am starting to suspect WC is broken.
-
check this : in starting with the same grib2 generated from Interactive Maps
-
@suhkoi69 Please Generate the fmap from Interactive maps.
Drop the grib2 file and click save button and take the saved fmap from Interactive maps.Also the fact the WC has 3000 flat base is suspicious; I already noticed WC rounding everything for pressures being read in.
I am suspicious of WC at the moment.
Also F4Wx and Interactive Maps do not have to agree on the cloud base in Alt because grib2 only gives pressure levels and you need to determine the cloud base based on PRMSL, Pressure and Surface temp. I use Gas constants, Gravity, mass per mol for calculations here. If F4Wx uses something different we will not agree on the cloud base:
// prmsl, press in Pa function gfsAltFromPRES(prmsl, pres, surf_temp) { // Physics Constants const R = 8.31432; // Gas constant (N x m) / (mol x K) const M = 0.0289644; // kg/mol const g = 9.80665; // m/s^2 const st = 15.0 // Standard Temp C. // Lookup Temperature from standard atmosphere var T = gfsPres2Temp(pres / 100)+273.15; // Kelvin T = T + (15 - surf_temp); // Determine Cloud Base // pres = prmsl e ^(-gMh / RT) // h = ln(P/P0) RT / -gM var alt = (Math.log(pres/prmsl)*R*T)/(-g*M); alt *= 3.28084; // Make ft return alt; }

@suhkoi69 Can it be that F4Wx encodes version 8 fmaps incorrectly? That is why I want you to save an fmap generated from Interactive Maps. That will save as version 8 format for the fmap that you can load into WC.
Just click the save button (on the connectivity tab) after you dropped the grib2 file on interactive maps.

Drop the grib2 file and click save button and take the saved fmap from Interactive maps.that’s exactly what I did here : https://forum.falcon-bms.com/post/381502
below the same grib2 but read in F4WX to save FMAP

I already did and I mentioned you there are also some issue with cloud base & fog alt
