chromium Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 hi, when I enter an airport code (for example: UGTB) It asks if I want to dl the weather, then nothing happens. No weather is loaded and no METAR is generated I just tried now with UGTB and it works. Do you have other mods installed? It is the stable version? Connection working I suppose. I'll prepare a debug log version if it's not so that I can understand what happen.

It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

EntropySG Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hi no other mods, latest stable version. When I enter any nonsense into the airport code field, it still asks whether it should download the weather, but nothing happens also no error message. I use JSGM and the required files directly go into the mission editor directory of the main install so Im not sure what Im doing wrong :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use JSGM and the required files directly go into the mission editor directory of the main install so Im not sure what Im doing wrong :P There is a small hope... I reproduced the issue inserting the icao code like this: "UGKO" istead of UGKO I didn't expect that possibile issue cause page 5 of the manual there is the examples with only letters included in the box (the manual isn't in this test zip but it's in any other previous download version) So please retry inserting only the letters, no other symbols. That is my last hope.

The only thing I can do is try to add some safety check about the 4 letters being a text string whitout special characters etc etc. Did you also used uppercase letters?

EntropySG Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 That is really strange, now it works?! I just updated DCS on another PC and there it works flawlessly?!

chromium Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 ok, so... if you please can describe the difference between the two PCs maybe I could get a clue of what is happening. One of the thing I was thinking is about PC & DCS language settings: mine is english.

VTJS17_Fire Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hi chromium, we tested it yesterday in DCS 2.0.3 OA at Nellis and it worked like a charme. Does this mod also control the height of the contrails? Are they driven by QNH? Thanks in advance.

whartsell Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Just tried this with OA 2.0.3 with the DAWS_ICAO:KLSV:DAWS_ICAO tag. According to the logs its loading.

chromium Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Just tried this with OA 2.0.3 with the DAWS_ICAO:KLSV:DAWS_ICAO tag. According to the logs its loading. The weather report shows it as loaded but the METAR line in the briefing isnt there Uhm, I'm on holiday but if I remember correctly you won't have the metar line in the briefing for the multiplayer server feature, maybe I will have to add this info to the manual. That feature is almost to be used for servers who rolls mission every "n" hours, automatically, so that the mission will be constantly have updated weather conditions at every mission launch. For any normal server using my suggestion is to use the ME standard workflow, so: 1. enter the ME 2. open the mission 3. go to weather panel 4. download updated weather 5. save the mission that workflow will always have METAR line in the general briefing (unless not available). EDIT: the reason for not having that feature is that I don't have a way to remove the previous metar so that if I add the metar code at any load, it will be added instead of overwrited... but to be honest I thought a working way to get that right now, and to remove the "tag line" also. I will evaluate if it's a good addition or too complex when I come back from holiday.
