Problems with winds aloft stations

Featured Replies

HiI think that I have come across a bug in how the winds aloft station is choosen. I have struggled to get winds aloft for my "home airport" ESNN where there is a valid report in the windsXXz.wmo files and also an entry in the wmo.txt file. The problem is that the stationnumber in wmo.txt says 02365 and in the downloaded windfiles the stationnumber is 2365. The program isn't able to match theese two numbers. When I change to 02365 in the windfile it works ok, but it doesn't work to change to 2365 in wmo.txt. I think this is a problem with all stationnumbers that starts with 0.Regardsolle

Hi Olle,I will look into this, but I think it is the existing offline problem with mismatches (occurs when the station name and altitude of soundings are the same). This is being worked on right now.. Note that any 4 digit station is automatically made/considered 5 digit (02365) in internal processing. -Damian[table border=0" cellspacing="30" cellpadding="0][tr][td align = "left"]Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyThe next-generation weather environment simulation for FS2002!http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky[/td][td]http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg][/td][/tr][/table://http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/ima...[/tr][/table

Hi againTried this again with v1.8RC4, still the same problem. I have tested all scandinavian wind reporting stations by placing the aircraft at each and every one and I do not get the correct winds on either place. There are valid reports in the file and valid stationinformation in wmo.txt for all of them. All stations have numbers that starts with a zero. Using offline mode./olle
