Weather issue : visibility changes after saving TE
-
I noticed something strange about the fmap loading : if the fmap is loaded and saved directly from the TE mission (not from TE builder or editing), the visibility is correct if I fly just after
but if I decide to leave the mission and reload the same TE from Tactical engagement menu; the visibility will have changedhere you can see the video I did
[update 1]
if the fmap is created from Weather commander -> it works fine
I guess the issue comes from FMAP generated with F4Wx; I tried to read it and save it from Weather commander -> visibility issueprobably something is changed when F4wx FMAP is saved from the “setup weather” in BMS…
[update 2]
same issue with a recent FMAP generated from F4WX 1.05

You should engage with F4WX author please.
Weather Commander is a tool made by the BMS team so should be the reference.
Cheers

I did
in any case , there is too something wrong when the F4Wx fmap file is saved from BMS… -
apparently, “Ahmed” is down… no news…
Is there another way to create FMAPs from real weather maps without using F4Wx?

Hi suhkoi, can you send me:
1. Original FMAP file generated by F4wx
2. The version of the FMAP file that was saved by BMS from the TE pageI can take a look to see what/why it has changed.

here you can find 2 FMAP files
550000.fmap -> fmap created from F4WX
transit2.fmap -> fmap saved after loading the 550000.fmap

Thank you, I’ll take a look at these when I get the chance, hopefully today or tomorrow.

With my Realweather tool i can see very small differences between the two, on some spots its different although they are almost same.
here are the two files next to eachother:

<p>@Obi1 what 's new about this issue ?</p>

<p>@suhkoi69 Nothing new. Unfortunately my compare pics have not been saved to the new forum.<br />But my point was that the 2 fmaps you used to show that they where different, had only 2 spots on the whole map that where a little bit different from each other.<br />Probably just value rounding that had caused it. I really don’t think you would ever notice these in 3D.<br /><br />The point I would like to say after working a lot with fmaps (I even create them myself in my Realweather tool) is that I never saw any real big issue with them.<br />Mostly any issues you think you have is from not understanding the map shifting that happens over time or it could mostly be wrongly setup/saving of the (twx) weather settings in BMS settings. At least that’s my experience.<br /><br />Cheers Obi1</p>
