v12.0.0-beta.1 (XP12 Release Candidate)
Pre-release
At this stage the plugin is almost only monitoring what XP12 real weather engine is doing.
As it already takes data from GFS Grib files, probably there will be no need to download them anylonger.
As soon as a final version of X-Plane 12 will be released, I will consider if some of the XP11 version features will still be needed.
Requirements:
- MacOS 10.14, Windows 7, Linux kernel 4.0 and above
- X-Plane 12 Release Candidate
- pbuckner's XPPython3 plugin: https://xppython3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
- Python 3.8 and above: http://www.python.org/getit/
Installation:
Copy the zip file contents to your X-Plane/Resources/plugins/PythonPlugins folder. The resulting installation should look like:
X-Plane/Resources/plugins/PythonPlugins/noaweather/
X-Plane/Resources/plugins/PythonPlugins/PI_noaaWeather.py
Please delete completely (not overwrite) any previous release of NOAA plugin in PythonPlugins folder.
Changelog:
v12.0.0-beta.1:
- Fixed XP12 Real Weather GFS data according to new format introduced in XP12 Release Candidate 2.
- Under the hood work to prepare to more active weather injection if needed / permitted
- Python 3.8 and above will be required for this version. Probably 3.10 will be the requirement in the next releases so if you need to update move directly to that version (I'm testing on 3.10).
WARNING
Please read the Readme file. Using XP12 Real Weather data for reference, while giving the most accurate result, causes discrepancies with ATC / ATS info when flying connected to online servers.
