API - between 00:00:00AM and 02:59:59AM the env.mission.weather string is empty

[Apple]

Whilst playing around with the Moose ATIS class, I noticed that at night between 0AM and 3AM the env.mission.weather string is empty. This is true for the PG and Syria Map, and hence likely for all other maps, too!

Thanks to Thrud for reporting to the Moose discord.

Hi. I'd like to reproduce your issue but I suck at DCS scripting. Can you please attach a .miz file showing the issue?

[Von Thrud]

Hi Flappie, 

 

Here's a dot miz file containing a brief ATIS script and the audio files. ATIS is tuned for 249.950 at Tabqa, jump in the hornet and listen to PRI.

 

The ATIS audio takes a few seconds to stream in as it is set on a TIME MORE condition (2 seconds). 

 

Change the time to outside of 00:00:00 to 02:59:59 and ATIS works, inside that time windows the ATIS script errors - missing weather string or something per Apples report.

 

Cheers

To be super-specific, what the code does at the point it errors is

 

  -- Weather data from mission file.
  local weather=env.mission.weather

 

post which the data is decomposed. Since in the given time window the weather is empty (nil) it stops working, which should not be the case.

 

Thanks.

I was able to make a very simple mission thanks to @Von Thrud's miz file. My mission doesn't use Moose, and I get correct answers when I'm asking for env.mission.weather data. Here's an example (time is 0230):

 

env.wheather_0230.trk

Thanks Flappie, agree it wasn't you , nailed down the actual bug.

[Flappie]

It couldn't have been be my fault anyway, I'm just a customer like you !

I'm glad I could help.
