whartsell Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Uhm, I'm on holiday but if I remember correctly you won't have the metar line in the briefing for the multiplayer server feature, maybe I will have to add this info to the manual. That feature is almost to be used for servers who rolls mission every "n" hours, automatically, so that the mission will be constantly have updated weather conditions at every mission launch. For any normal server using my suggestion is to use the ME standard workflow, so: 1. enter the ME 2. open the mission 3. go to weather panel 4. download updated weather 5. save the mission that workflow will always have METAR line in the general briefing (unless not available). EDIT: the reason for not having that feature is that I don't have a way to remove the previous metar so that if I add the metar code at any load, it will be added instead of overwrited... but to be honest I thought a working way to get that right now, and to remove the "tag line" also. I will evaluate if it's a good addition or too complex when I come back from holiday. Ok. It would be really useful to have the metar there as there is no reliable in-game way of getting the info, specifically QNH. With regards to how to handle the metar, one suggestion is to save the original description to a temp (table or file) then when you reload just replace the description with the saved original and the metar concatenated. That way you dont need to worry about a search and replace. If your code is is in source control, i can clone it and if i have time make the changes and submit a pull request.

whartsell Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 ok. I have a fix in place for this (only a few lines of code) but have found another issue. you hook into mul_create_server.lua for the multiplayer server startup. Your code gets run here as expected, however when the server rolls to a new map it does not call this module as it does not re-enter mul_create_server.lua therefore the metars will not update. Im not sure if this is what you intended as most people who do server map reloads on a time interval do so by killing DCS and restarting.DAWS_Weather_mul.lua Arduino,EOS and Helios Tutorial Static ATC menu mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gospadin Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'll double-check my setup later today after work. Are there multiple versions of DAWS Weather?

EntropySG Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Dear Chromium, with the new 1.5.5. stable release, just FYI, I just found that when I have the weather mod enabled via JSGME, I cant host a server. As soon as I click on 'start server' the screen goes black. Music is still playing, but only way to exit is via ctrl alt del. If I disable the weather mod, it works just fine. easy workaround for now seems to be to enable your mod, set the weather, then disable the mod and host the mission.

SageOT Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Not tested, but probably yes Tried it on 2.0 and the weather panel does not come up in the ME for me. As in the -whole- weather panel is missing... Guessing there's a little bit of code difference from 2.0 and 1.5. Sucks, great addition to the game. Keep up the good work!

chromium Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 The 1.5.4 version was working correctly. But I believe that 2.0.3 Will be updated to the new code also, so maybe It's better to wait. I Will think if it could be the case to add the 1.5.4 version attached... But many People doesn't read even the basic instruction so I won't leave here & there more than a single version to avoid confusion.

dans679 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I have a similar issue as SageOT, where at the bottom of the weather panel where I would put in the airport ICAO is not visible. I can just barely make out the top of the txt box, and if you click on it just right, you can input the ICAO and download the weather, but it isn't easily usable anymore(we run a remote server). Thank you for the product. Respectfully, Pono [355th] VFS http://355thvfs.enjin.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
