Many steps required to install this NOAA app .. not just a plugin move .. I will have to study the multiple downloads and their install instructions....

Ah it's simple. During Net install select Python 64 bit. and NOAA / Ground Services and you are done. 

Well, I screwed something up on my installation.  I first used the zip file download and it didn't work (the readme file was not clear when it said to unzip the contents of "the folder" ... - didn't say which folder and there were several layers.  Then I ran the NetInstaller and it installed Ground Services and Joy Map just fine, but NOAA still doesn't show up in the plug-in menu, so something is messed up.  Everything else works just fine including the other plug-ins installed with NOAA.

 

I have an e-mail request in to them with details.  I just need to know what to uninstall and try again, or what to rearrange in the folders to get it to work.

FSrealWx developer gave me a reply:

 

"Avoid a double assignment of the "L" key.
See Xplane Menu Plugin Hotkey and assign new key."

 

I told him I am new to Xplane .. I do not recall setting up a key ...

 

Do you know about this?

 

Like, I do not even know where this "Xplane Menu Plugin Hotkey" is located??

"Well, I screwed something up on my installation."

 

I seen the install instruction s and well .. stopped right there ... I am not a programmer .........

 

When you find out the correct 1,2,3 steps / folders etc please let me know.

 

Then I will try to get it going ...

What HumptyDumpty said: 

 

If I had it to do all over again, I'd just download the NetInstallerPythonInterface from the link listed and run that.  It will automatically install all the stuff you need - the right version of Python, the Barbour interface and all the plug-ins.  You don't need to know anything and if there is something you don't want (like one of the plug-ins) you can uncheck it.  Should be simple and foolproof.  My problem was that I had already installed a lot of that stuff for other plug-ins before and tried to do a manual install of NOAA which hasn't worked.

 

I did just re-run the NetInstaller and it has fixed things.  I think I had the 32-bit Python installed rather than the 64-bit - anyway it works now.

When I run that pyton net thingie it want me to scroll to my XP folder .. but I must select a "name" there is no name .. do I create some name then press OK?
Until I get the correct folder selected I do not have an OK to use .. it is greyed out.





 

No just select the x plane root folder

No just select the x plane root folder

 

Thanks ... that worked .. it sure installed a bunch of stuff that python installed!

 

Now, do I need to install the other download called XplaneNoaaWeather-master .............

 

Or

 

An I ok without it?

 

I has one folder called noaweather with a bunch of xxx.py files inside it

and

One file outside that folder named

PI_noaaWeather.py

 

Maybe that stuff is the plugin ..??

******************

 

Just for info:

 

I asked the FSRealWx developer:

 

One question.

 

Why after removing your plugin is all ok.

 

No L key problem then.

 

Also: where is this in Xplane 10-31?

Xplane Menu Plugin Hotkey and assign new key.

 

I cannot find it.

 

So far no reply.

 

 

****

 

Currently I have these two folders in my Plugins folder:

 

PythonInterface

PythonScripts

 

Is that all I need? or is there a NOAA plugin neededin there also?

 

 

**

I looked inside the PythonScripts folder and found a noaa weather folder ... so may have all the files I need now?

F:\Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 10\Resources\plugins\PythonScripts\noaweather

Just start up XP and open the Plug-Ins menu at the top.  All the new plug-ins will be there if everything installed correctly.

Ok ...

Got NOAA Wx in Xplane now!

Thanks all'ya'all.
