Falcas, it appears that WXC is unable to handle the new winds aloft, as they are almost always above the maximum value of 30kts.
As a result, when opening a wx map in WXC and saving it, even if no changes are made to the wind, it’ll delete all winds entirely.
Original file:

Also, your posts here say newest version is 1.3.0.11, but on the website I can only find/download 1.3.0.10?

Thanks for the heads up, link adjusted.

Ps… WC will handle winds up to 150kts

What has changed regarding winds aloft? Eagle Eyes remark makes curious…
-
visibility cloud base, cloud coverage, cloud size & towering cumulus are not affected by animation option …they are fixed, normal?

I’m wondering about that too with Weather Commander. Also, I noticed that when I start with a FAIR.fmap, make adjustments (none to visibility) to it and save as myMap.fmap. Then fly with myMap and visibility is normal. I make adjustments to myMap (again, none to visibility) and save it, then fly again. but this time I have 0 visibility. Can’t even see anything in the cockpit except the HUD. Is this a known problem or is it just me?
Edit: Additional info. It seems that after you save a FMAP, then reopen it, the visibility section reverts to zero over the whole map, losing the original visibility section of the FMAP.
Edit #2: It seems that Wind, Cloud base, Cloud cover and Cloud size are all broken if you reopen a saved FMAP.

with the release 1.3.0.21, there is something wrong with 4.37
-
@suhkoi69 you have to give these guys time to update the Tools… .37 just came out.
-
@Falcas I noticed that Weather Commander doesn’t display correctly the same FMAP file according to BMS location :
- visibility
- cloud size
- cloud coverage
- cloud base
- wind
right if BMS location is 4.37 and left 4.36

Hello!
Is it possible to open in Weather Commander all the FMAP files when more than one, and play them in WC the same way that happens with the button down right in the F4Wx?
There are many times I want to see the downloaded weather and the Run Animation button-feature doesn’t help for this because it only moves the current fmap situation.
If that cannot work until now, I really hope it could be added later on…
Nevertheless the app is outstanding!
Many thanks! -
Using WC in 4.37 I get the error message “Unable to determine the Version of your install” and all the crazy graphics shown in one of the previous posts …
Is anyone else getting this error message?

Same from me.
If you have 4.36 installed assing falcon location to the respective folder.
With 4.37 assinged, in wind tab with a fmap loaded, wind values on the map was totally a mess. I mean that the wind was not gradually changing.
Imagine a cell with 5knots speed and right next to it 130knots.
Edit: Didn’t noticed above posts.

A fix will come

New version available.

Mine will not open. Black screen and then nothing, back on desktop?

Mmm don’t have a quick answer to that.
I suppose it did work before. That said, I have to assume .Net is installed on your system.Only simple thing you can do is delete the setup.ini file and try again
