[Release] Grb2fmap - GRIB to BMS Converter
-
Hi all,
This project has been sort of abandoned in unfinished state for a couple of months due to the lack of a free grid weather data provider, that prevented me from implementing some wanted features.
I have now found a source for this data, so I plan on slowly working towards a feature-complete final version. So far, the expected features are:
- Automatic downloading of weather data (no need to use zyGrib anymore)
- Simpler user interface (just select the theater of operations and the program will take care of the rest)
- I will consider adding the option of outputting a weather forecast briefing
If anybody have any other requests I will be happy to consider them.
I don’t have much time now to dedicate to this project, but the intention is there. So, as usual in this community, expect news in 3-4 Falcon weeks

Quick sneakpeek of the new program in late development state after a few days of rain down around here…
I’m calling all theater devs and users around here to post or pm coordinates for all available BMS 4.33 theaters so as to be included in the upcoming release, as I just have a few installed.
A theater map (preferably DEM2Terrain) image would be a plus!

Great……thanks for your software development

Yo guys!
Very few features pending to be implemented and some bug-fixing.
So far I have collected data for KTO, ITO, Balkans and Ikaros (thanks Mystic), and POH should be on the way. Any other theaters missing?
p.s. Not a good day to fly ITO…

Dear Ahmed
Thank you for your great contribution and for your collaboration with the F4Spain team. It is a great satisfaction for us that POH can take advantage of this incredible utility.
A cordial greeting.
