    I'm glad to know it, André.
    Woodee, i 'know that it's possible to config in an unique server, but i don't know how to do it.

    Each profile, will have a weather config file, WeatherControlPlugin.ini which basically just has a port number in eg. 12345).

    Just have a weather config file in each user profile with different ports in each file. The app will pick them all up.

    I think even if you had different installs, the weather app would be listening for ports anyhow and pick them up.

    Hi, I'd like to notify a strange behaviour in the Static App. Please have a look at attached image. I retrieved the weather forecast 5 minutes before the Brazilian GP (13:55 at Sao Paulo). However, the weather tool is not retrieving the weather at 14:00, it just retrieves up to 11:00, and that's the displayed weather. Same output (and weather) repeats for the 3 sessions. Is it a bug? A problem in weather.com side?

    This was in response to the issue of quick and harsh changes of lighting conditions and/or cloud coverage regardless of smoothing value used in weather server, the reason for that suspected in changes in Internals Plugin v7 over v6. Did you get a feedback on that from an ISI dev, Gerald? With build 1008 the issue is still present. Haven't had the time to test with 1028 yet though.

    Corrected Mosport.
    Added Road America.
    Added Road Atlanta (Atlantic Road).

    edit: something is wrong, when I start rFactor2worldweather.exe I get this error message: View attachment 18656

    in English this is something like this:
    invalid attribute character
    row 40, position 17

    bump, i get the same, anyone know what the issue is? line seems to be the middle one here:

    <Location name="Adelaide" inProfiles="1”>
    <Providers>
    <Provider id="1">

    '>', hexadecimal value 0x3C, is an invalid attribute character.

    removing adelaide solves the issue but i dont see what the error is.

    I have those exact same lines in my config and get no errors. However, I did see this a while back when I was setting up the weather for a 1966 RaceEvent. I retyped the lines and it worked just fine. Maybe there's a hidden character in there that you don't see. If you use something like WinVI, you can look at the text in hex mode, and that might show you if there's something in there that shouldn't be (especially if you cut and pasted the entry from somewhere else). Here's my Adelaide entry:

    <!-- ******************** Australia/Adelaide 11/3 *********************** -->
    <Location name="Adelaide" inProfiles="1">
    <Providers>
    <Provider id="1">
    <Parameters>
    <Parameter name="Location" value="ASXX0001"/>
    </Parameters>
    </Provider>
    <Provider id="2">
    <Parameters>
    <Parameter name="Longitude" value="138.599959"/>
    <Parameter name="Latitude" value="-34.928621"/>
    </Parameters>
    </Provider>
    </Providers>
    <Directories>
    <Directory path="Adelaide"/>
    </Directories>
    </Location>

    Some more entries that I haven't seen added. Please let me know if I'm doing this wrong.

    The closing-quotes for inProfiles don't look normal. ( inProfiles="1> )

    This means it isn't recognised as being the end of the inProfiles parameter, so then the > is part of the parameter - which is invalid. Replacing that character with normal quotes should fix it.

    I cut and pasted it into winvi and sure enough, that close quote is actually a 94 hex rather than a 22 hex. That's why retyping some of the stuff when I had issues solved the problem. And it perpetuates itself because people cut and paste the stanza and it looks correct to the naked eye.

    Is this a problem with the track? Or can I fix it on the weather UI?

    Somebody erased the whole content of the weatherconfig.xml (it's empty when I download it) so pls fix it.

    Something happened tonight (12/14/2015). Weather Tools fails with this error:

    Same here. Since it's polling from a 3rd party (i.e. Weather.com), could something have changed on their end??

    I think you're correct. I think something changed on the weather.com site. I used to be able to find historic weather there by going to the site in a browser and just clicking on some buttons. But now I can't. It may be that they changed that or else I just forgot how I did it. I pared my weather xml file down to the one track just for testing and it did not work with Road America, which had worked Sunday night.
