F4Wx – Real Weather Converter
-
I had the idea of loading fmaps from disk before but I ditched it as it has some shortcomings. F4Wx works internally with grib structures, not with fmaps, and the fmaps don’t have all the data the program needs, thats one. And the second one is that loading fmap files would forcefully disable some of the options and possibilities (you can’t really use the fine-tuning options with data from the fmap, for example) and that would be a little bit weird .
As for saving the .grib files to disk, there is an undocumented feature actually for that: CTRL+SHIFT+S. You can load them at a later date from a local repository.

Exactly what I wanted.
I’ve figured that .grib(s) aren’t even never saved to disk , they are rather stored in memory space, and lost after conversion to .fmap(s) end of process, so any kind of undelete just won’t work anyway… I’ve tried
THANKS a bunch.:yo:
–p.s. errr, why didn’t you just made a button *save grib(s) , after download… maybe I’m first with that idea :uham: -

Do you get any other info with this error? This alone is not enough to trace the cause.

Hey Spit, looks like the connection to the NOAA server is not succeeding. Maybe you have a firewall blocking F4Wx?

Thanks. I was going to recommend you downloading the last version of the redist files. I’ll update the readme on next release!

Hello, Ahmed.
I have a perhaps silly question for you.I have now installed 4.33.1 U5 and 4.34 both installed on my system.
How could I learn on which of those two F4Wx is ‘pointed’ to? And could I be able to select or switch F4Wx among them?Thanks a lot in advance, and best compliments again for your useful utility.

Assuming you’re usong the latest 1.01, it only supports 4.34, so you can rest assured that it’s ‘pointing’ at 4.34, not 4.33. I’ve only used the program once, but you as the user tell it where to save the fmaps anyway. Unless, by “pointing to”, you’re referring to the time sync options between F4Wx and BMS 4.34?

Planehazza,
useful and clear answer this yours, thanks a lot.
Well, no, I was too much unclear perhaps… as I intended to, it was between 4.33.1 U5 and 4.34 root directories.
With best regards.

v1.0 and later are only compatible with BMS 4.34 due to the lots of weather engine improvements in the new BMS.
The last version that worked on 4.33 is v1.0b49 Beta, and that works on 4.33 ONLY. I don’t want to confuse anyone by posting download links to older versions here but, if anyone is interested in downloading the old 4.33 version, feel free to drop me a pm for download links.
There are no plans on making a switchable version compatible with both 4.33 and 4.34 as the present and near future of Falcon is BMS 4.34

Thanks a lot, Ahmed. It’s all crystal clear now.
With best regards.

Here is the software zipped instead of rar : https://www.dropbox.com/s/aiqgoqux3waxec8/F4Wx-1.01.zip?dl=0
I will delete the link after you downlad though, as this is not to make a mirror !
