chromium Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 It's already ok for nevada in current testing version, but i'm going to release only for openbeta of dcs 2.0.0.

chromium Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hi everyone, a new version of DAWS Weather has been released at the link in the first page. Updated manual is also included. Main changes are: 1- now you can insert any ICAO you want to download real time weather in the mission editor 2- a full brand new multiplayer features: now you can insert a "tag" into the briefing box of a mission to command a real time download of the weather from a particoular airport (ICAO code defined) each time you start the server whitout having to re-download the weather in the mission editor or you can also use a specific metar string to be applied. Hope you like it ;) NB: this will work for sure for DCS 1.5.3 current version. I did not tested it for Nevada. Next update will be for DCS 2.5.

Marioshata Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hey chromium, Thank you for your work on this awesome mod. I got excited about the new server feature, but when I try to start a server on one of my missions pressing the start button does nothing and throws this error in the log... 00071.986 ALERT LUACOMMON: Error: GUI Error: [string "C:\Games\DCS World OpenBeta\MissionEditor/modules/AMVI/WEATHER/DAWS_Weather_mul.lua"]:809: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil) GUI debug.traceback: stack traceback: [C]: ?

chromium Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Seems it don't find a briefing text dict. I will check asap. Can you please send me you mission? Did you add the tag in the briefing? (if not, there is a bug anyway but I already understand where to look for). Can you please try to run the mod using a civil airport ICAO code? Openbeta, if it's the same built as stable, should work.

Marioshata Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I will PM you a link to the mission. Yes, I added the tag to the situation briefing, but I also tried to run the mission before this implementation which gave me the same result. Removing DAWS Weather fixes this and server starts again. Tried with a new mission to see if the mod works and it does. I only tested with the ICAO code of Nalchik (URMN) which is a civil airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromium Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Issue found, it's rather confusing cause all my test mission didn't show that particoular behaviour in the dictionary file. I will fix asap, stay in touch.

chromium Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Update: issue seems solved, but I have a small side-bug.. the metar text isn't added in the mission briefing once the weather is inserted into the mission. I will update current version as soon as it's fixed.

Believe me, I triple check the download file before writing that here :P The built is correct also but it refers to the _mul file: the built of the mission editor mod file it's still the same as before.

71st_AH Rob Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Thanks Chromium, when I opened the file to edit it I saw the build number then checked the zip file and saw that the last date was 25 Apr so I thought it might be that the link had not updated will set it up today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer86 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Chromium thank you for the update but that is not working for me:( I can not select any airport from the mission editor because there is no airport option setting. I turned back the 1.5 version which is working well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromium Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Recheck Manual, you shouln't select an airport, you should insert the ICAO code of the airport you want in the textbox with the "ICAO" text written inside ;). For example you should insert "UGKO" for Kutaisi. That is a feature that remove the limits of using only the map airport. You can insert any airport ICAO you prefer, even the one near your home for example. That is a feature that was there before the airport list, but many user asked me to be able to use an icao code instead of a list of airport.. so I did. As always, military airport code won't work but it's not a mod issue.. is that many of them won't made public the metar string (i.e. Vaziani) Edited May 1, 2016 by chromium Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes.

Marioshata Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hey chromium, Is it possible to add a feature to extract the time of day from the METAR to the mission? Would be really neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromium Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 It could be possible. It would be an interesting feature for the multiplayer version, but that would mean the it became night if you fly nighttime. For the manual METAR addition, it would be easier to read the metar and change the hour in the ME (you already are in the ME). Please try to explain me what kind of behaviour you are looking for?

Marioshata Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Yes, for the multiplayer version. This way the server will always have realistic weather and time of day for the METAR used. Some people don't like flying at night so if it could be implemented as a feature for the user to enable or disable in the DAWS_Weather.lua would be awesome.

chromium Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 I could be a timeshift option to add "n" hours to the METAR time each time, so who want could make day mission at real world night time and viceversa Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes.
