Hello Tim, Maps look fine . I am however UNABLE to retrieve any data from the internet , always getting an I/O error 32 while attempting to retrieve anything (( I've tried checking and unchecking all the sites in various combinations , or even just checking one site ...but this makes no difference ) .

I'm presuming you want this for use in wxsim ??
If I'm not mistaken Tom mentions a whole bunch of sites where to get data - including FOUS - on his site :

I think he also put quite a few URL's in the help.doc that comes with wxsim ( or manual.doc )

I'm sure Tim is aware of this and will take care of it ASAP.

This could have to do with the size of the files then , beacuse the smaller grib-files do work when importing . Like I said earlier the AVN global file which is about 20 mb in size also fails to import . DA starts to import - in effect recognizing the file as a valid gribfile - but it freezes solidl...

Could the inability to import large grib-files have anything to do with this ?

Tried to import Grib-data again . Either the files I'm getting are totally wrong ( although it says on the site these are global AVN-gribfiles ) or DA is having trouble importing such large files . Names of the files are : gblav.t12z.sf96 and ( I think this one is meant for use with a specialized pr...

Is 0.42 available then ??

Read about this in the Satsignal group as well :wink: Now we sure would like to know a couple of things : -settings ( both in DA and GSS) - source for this data , it seems to me there's more fleetcodes-data here than when downloading the fleetcode with DA In short : everything you'd be willing to te...

I've noticed a small but tedious bug in the front-drawing tool . When I plot a north-america map at 1024*768 and plot in pressure lines I usually put in the "H"'s and "L" 's manually . However, when I try to plot a H or L at the sides of the map it usually gets plotted on the opp...
