F4Wx – Real Weather Converter
-
I works here for Balkans, ooob.
But… which maps, Single .fmap(s) or the incremental xyyzz.fmap(s) ?
Single are stored in ./campaign/save dir for (Korea) default theatre, but incremental are stored in maps subdir ./campaign/save/Weathermapsupdates . And yes you cant see them in BMS, but they should autoload if weather is set to do so… cant miss the switch (box).
Check the correct directory?
Was that the problem?

Think I got it figured out. So I downloaded the incremental weather and put it in the maps updates folder. Selected maps auto update. The weather manager now just states auto save map loaded. Is this correct?

Yes.

Hi,
I was useing this software with good output up to now but today, when I tried to download the weather to be applied at our Monday’s Mission, I noted that, although the wind and pressure are correct, the cloud coverage is …. nothing
You can compare the data from the video.
I stopped just a moment the animation on F4Wx at 21:30, which is the time of zyGrib picture, just to give you the two pictures of the situation.
Any idea about this?Thanks for your support.
Kind regards
HawkEDIT 16oct2017
I checked on different web sites about today’s weather and over Mostar (our concerned area) the layer of clouds is at about 33.000 ft.
No clouds below, at medium or low altitude; visibility about 20nm.
I presume this is an altitude which in Falcon concerns only few flights and not the 99% of operations.
So, maybe, the developper made a filter within the software to avoid non necessary informations….maybe.
Regards

Works ok on 64bit.@Jackal you select where to save the file or files according to your selection. So I would select to save them directly to falcon folders.
If u create one file only save it in
C:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Campaign\Saveif u create a sequence
select to save here: C:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Campaign\Save\WeatherMapsUpdatesand then move the first file here:
C:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Campaign\SaveOK–got that, but from where do i need to move needed files?

From where u select to save it by using this software.

Ok.got that…but still struggling with
Time between files
Forecast to generate
are these only used for saving filesand these are for downloadiing?
Download forecast
Download intervalAnd what are GFS last two digits 00, 06, 12, 18 presenting, or tthe whole number 2017101512 ?

The number is a date 2017/10/15 the last 2 digits are the time, forecast are issued with validity starting at 0000, 0600, 1200 and 1800

Ok.got that…but still struggling with
Time between files ====> files will be generated according to the interval you’ll set: any 15min, any 30 min, etc.
Forecast to generate ======> how much longer do you want the files to be generated? for the next 24 hours, 36 hours, 2 hours , etc.
are these only used for saving filesand these are for downloadiing? ======> then the generated fmap files will be saved into the directory you’ll choose for the use, later, within campaign / save directory and weathermapsupdates folder

Any Tutorial how to load a .grb file directly from zgrib or any other online source?
I can´t load the file, nothing happens. What i´m doing wrong?
-
Think you’re doing nothing wrong… there may be a bug when loading offline file. I’ve tried also but no success.
Well, no big deal to me, just download next forecast and enjoy

The anwer is on the Q&A section of the first post
Q: Can I load GRIB version 1 files or can use old zyGrib files that I used on Grb2Fmap? A: As of this version GRIB 1 files downloaded from zyGrib don't work on F4Wx. Use GRIB 2 downloaded from within the application or saved from NOAA NOMADS server
So, the only local files that you can load at the moment are GRIB2 downloaded from the NOMADS server (or other source containing the same data/format)
On another note, still thinking on releasing an update, but to be honest there are not many new things in such an update other than fixing a small bug with the timezone sync option, being able to save the preview images, and adding the newly released theaters into the presets list, so I have been working on other projects instead of F4Wx lately. In any case, I’ll release a new update addressing the above issues “soon”

Thanks Ahmed sorry the misinformation

Hmmm… Ahmed, now when you are thinking to return some attention to f4wx , …
Please, can you make previewing of falcon export weather files?
I mean load entire ‘WeatherMaps’ subdir and preview images 1 by 1 in a timeline… is it possible?
I don’t mean edit weather , that can do with Falcas’s editor , just preview.
That would be awesome :mrgreen:

I haven’t looked at the code in a while but I would dare to say that it should be fairly easy to implement that into the existing code. I’ll take a look at this project again after U4 is out, just in case it includes any modifications to the weather format.

Does anyone have a collection of saved grib data that work with this version? Sometimes I want to create a spring/summer version of Korea to save me from the current winter conditions outside. If I were thinking I’d be saving seasons as we go along, but I haven’t been…

Incoming update, last call for theater devs to pm me in case their theater is not already in the F4Wx theater list and want it included!

Looking forward to the next update.
I have enjoyed working with this program and my virtual unit really like the more realistic weather settings available with this… Keep walking Ahmed

Instead of asking each time… or waiting - asking for an update… can’t you code it in a way that someone can import a new theater from a menu selection?
Just saying…
