chromium Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 I have a similar issue as SageOT, where at the bottom of the weather panel where I would put in the airport ICAO is not visible. I can just barely make out the top of the txt box, and if you click on it just right, you can input the ICAO and download the weather, but it isn't easily usable anymore(we run a remote server). Thank you for the product. Respectfully, Pono [355th] VFS http://355thvfs.enjin.com/ What resolution are you using? I tested it in the past with 1366x768, less could be a problem.

An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. 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.

milit Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Hi all! I think it would be excellent if the DAWS weather mod inserted a current (system) date into the mission. It is for correct season definition. ) Thanks. =WRAG=345 R7 5800X @ 4,8 GHz; DDR4 32Gb RAM (+32Gb swap); Radeon RX 6800 16Gb; 3840x2160; Win10-64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromium Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hi all! I think it would be excellent if the DAWS weather mod inserted a current (system) date into the mission. It is for correct season definition. ) Thanks. This is something that was already asked before once or twice. The reason why Weather do not update season and date (yes, cause also season is a parameter in the code) is due to the possibile conflict with DAWS Save Mission. I planned to release an upgrade of Save Mission before December but sadly real life required my full-time attention. As for that time, once released the new version of Save Mission I will take a look in Weather, in particoular: - Option menù to decide such things as updating date, season, or inserting the ICAO or METAR code; - Investigate the possibility to retrieve past metar code (let's say the closest hour to the mission start time, instead of the real moment of download, to be more realistic if the mission is daytime); - Fix some bug, the main one is about Nevada scenery cause I found that DCS altitudes in the editor are always mslm, while metar data are frequently agl. No timeframe, sorry. But if someone would try to modify something and post it or send it to me, it's ok. Have a nice Christmas!

Rivvern Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Great mod. I tend to use it alot. I think i got the automatic weather update working with the string in the situation text. "DAWS_ICAO:(ICAO code):DAWS_ICAO". Thanks! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] We are looking for Swedish members! http://www.masterarms.se Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X_Man Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Chromium - Thank you very much for this mod! I love it! It makes an otherwise not so simple task of creating quasi-random and believable weather on the fly. I use CheckWX: Aviation Weather as a way to randomize the airports I use. Thank you again! Maybe dynamic weather could be simulated by using download CheckWX data randomly - or something :) Edited January 1, 2017 by X_Man edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromium Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Thanks X_Man, but for dynamic weather you should look at DCS.nl server: they achieved a realistic dynamic weather update. I'm not going to look at that for quiet some time, cause I don't have the proper time and knowledge. Maybe in 2020 or 2025...

Pierre First try this: use uppercase letters, like UGSB. To check, use UGKO which is almost always available. If it doesn't work, then check write permission on DCS main folder like this: 1. navigate to your DCS folder (usually C:\Program files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World) 2. right click to the folder and choose "property" or the corrensponding french word; 3. down in the attributes uncheck "read only"; 4. Click "apply" and confirm that the attributes must be applied to every subfolder. Retry to use DAWS Weather. If it doesn't work again, please send me the dcs.log file that you can find in your Saved Games\DCS World\Logs folder.
