    Yes that's a way, but the change would be any way unrealistic. I mean, I can't pass from 13% to 37% in a second, it should gradually increase.

    Hello

    My radar generated does not bring the rain image (colored clouds). As you can see in the picture, the same location shown on the radar and Wundergroud site, are different.
    Both show the "Doppler Radar" correctly (circled in red), but the colored clouds that appear on the site (rain intensity), are not shown on the radar.

    Already tried changing the value in Radius, for more and for less (10 km to 1000 km).

    What am I doing wrong? The track is Red Bull Ring in Austria, but in other locations, happens the same.

    Thank you

    Wondered if this feature could be implemented.... a realtime weather delay?

    For example, we run 8pm on our server but a race time of 4pm. Would be cool to have weather delayed so we had what it was really like at the track at 4pm.

    Is this possible? Setting up the recording feature is sometimes a bit tiresome, so hoping for a "hands-free" weather delay that would just keep going.

    I have a question regarding the "rain intesity cap" function. If i cap it at 10% and it rains 50% is the rain intensity on the server at 10% or at 5%?

    If it is a CAP then it should be 10%, but I think that a Multiplier setting could be interesting...

    I would like to propose an enhancement to an already great tool:
    Since with the free Wunderground API key we can only pull data from the server 500 times per day, and since most servers are not in use most of the day but only for a few hours in the evenings, it would be great if it was possible to schedule different intervals for pulling data based on the time of day. Like between 0 and 8 am when there's nobody on the server anyways, the tool would not pull data at all, between 8 am and 4 pm when most people are at work, say twice an hour - thus making it possible to use a much shorter interval than 173 seconds during the busy hours in the evening. It would be fantastic if such a schedule could even be configured to each communities/servers individual requirements.

    We were thinking about increasing the interval because it seems the rF2 dedi does pull the weather from the .wet file at the beginning of each session before it gets the next update from the Weather Tool. If you have sunny weather set up in the .wet file but it's actually cloudy and/or rainy, you get some very harsh weather changes currently (well at least on build 910, haven't had the time to test 930 yet) despite using a smoothing value of 120 seconds. If it changes from clear sky to heavy clouds for instance, it makes the sky flicker badly two or three times for me before the server has completed the change. (That's only at the beginng of sessions though, the smoothing does work generally.) This is particularly irretating at the beginning of race sessions, and I hope it can be resolved using a shorter pull interval like twice per minute or lower. With a high enough value for "Race Client Wait" in Multiplayer.json ("Seconds to wait at the beginning of a race session for clients to get ready and go to grid") the issue might be resolved almost completely. At least it would be much less irretating if the change happened before the actual start of a race.

    There is something about fading clouds for build 930, "possible fix" I think it said in changelog or build thread.

    Hi all.
    I've a problem with the WeatherServer.
    In the statusbar appear a messaje telling "Unexpected Error: No se puede reconocer la cadena como valor DateTime válido."
    In english:
    Unexpected Error: Can not recognize the string as a valid DateTime value.​
    [​IMG]

    I've installed and configured the plugins in two rF2 Dedicated and both appear running in the WeatherServer.
    Then i supose that the plugins config are OK (the client side).
    Code:
    //
    [Plugin]
    Port=12346
    
    [Server]
    Address=localhost
    Port=23456
    
    Code:
    //
    [Plugin]
    Port=12345
    
    [Server]
    Address=localhost
    Port=23456
    
    The server config is:
    Code:
    // Weather Server ini file
    [RFACTOR2]
    // The directory containing the "core" directory
    CorePath=c:\RR\Servidores2\Realtime_Server
    // The directory where GDB/AIW will be extracted
    GDBExtractPath=c:\RR\Servidores2\Realtime_Server\tracks
    
    [SERVER]
    Port=23456
    DefaultWeatherUndergroundAPIKey=
    HttpPort=8081
    HttpPath=./web

    Radar.haveRadarInfo=0

    Do you know how to solve this problem?

    Thanks.

    Is it possible to show in the widget the current location (or track name), which is used for the weather radar? (e.g. if weather data is from Silverstone). I've tried different things, but couldn't get it working to show the location.

    Could it be because of asking server every 10 seconds?
    I don't know much about this tool, but I'm guessing that weather server would also ask WU every 10 seconds, and after having used your 500 hits per day, which would happen very quickly, WU would be giving an error answer instead of Date Time Weather or whatever it gives ;)

    Hi canastos (hola caracola)
    The server is configured to hit every 180 sec , but i changed it to 10 sec for testing purposes.
    And no, i've not exceeded the 500 hits.
    Thanks.

    Hi all.
    One question.
    Is it working for somebody?
    And, in this case, could you post your config? (WeatherServer.ini and WeatherControlPlugin.ini)
    Make sure you hide your key ;)

    Thanks.
