Problem with "Default Weather File Folder" option

Featured Replies

Hi Hifisim team,I am unable to get ASVv6 build 503 to write it's weather files somewhere else than at the default location.I have a Wideserver/Wideclient setup and I use FSBuild for fuelplanning. Currently I run ASv6 on the Wideclient and FSbuild on the Wideserver. So to have ASv6 on the Wideclient write it's weather files to a location where FSbuild can find them, I changed the path in the "Default Weather File Folder" to point to the networkdrive on the Wideserver.But ASv6 still writes it's weather files in the same default location.Also changing this option to a non networkdrive, like c:temp, doesn't make a difference.What am I doing wrong?Thanks!Best regards,Robert-Jan

Hi Robert,The Default Wx File Folder specifies the folder to use by default for saving/loading weather via the save/load dialogs and for automatic saves via archive downloads.It does not pertain to the internal AS weather-in-use snapshot (current_wx_snapshot.txt) which is (I believe) what FSBuild reads. This always gets stored in the AS installation folder for various technical reasons.I had assumed that FSBuild or any other add-on used our registry entry (AS installation folder location) to find the data. If so, then moving this location would break any such add-ons (not to mention many internal AS functions).Howevwer, if placing a "secondary" snapshot file in an alternate location would be helpful, please send us that suggestion to [email protected]. Comments appreciated!Best,
