WXSim and CumulusMX V4 public beta. Please read.
Posted: Sun 17 Mar 2024 12:48 pm
As Mark has explained in his thread there are a number of major changes to CumulusMX V4 and this affects WXSim and its associated programs.
In support of these changes Tom Ehrensperger has created an update for WXSim to support CumulusMX V4 along side the existing V3 support. This means that it can be installed prior to the CumulusMX upgrade and the basic functionality tested on V3.
I have done quite a lot of testing of this update for the past 4 weeks with CumulusMX V4 and so far it now seems to work fine for me. I have also run this with V3 log files again with no issues, but as we all know with one test environment it is always possible to miss something.
Tom has asked me to pass on his update to anyone who wishes to participate in the public beta so if that is you please contact me via PM giving me an email address which I can use to send you a copy of the update and some details on what to do when V4 is then installed. I have agreed with Tom to pass on details of the folks who volunteer for this so he will be aware if you need to contact him directly so please let me know if you are happy for me to do this in your PM.
At this stage I would like to have a test initially with a few users to trial this code with V3 and also V4 as soon as possible afterwards. We can then
extends the test to anyone who needs it.
