New IAC Fleetcode Plugin for OpenCPN

[sailorF54]

Perfect !!!



PS For the record, the NOAA fleetcode chart is based on the latest UKMO (Braknell) weather chart
If I am not mistaken, the "multi-position trough pressure systems" are called thalwegs and are depicted as thin lines on the UKMO charts. This name is often used in French as well as it is shorter than creux barométrique.

A "multi-position trough pressure systems" is called a trough line. The word "thalweg" seems only to be used in hydrology in English, for some reason ...or other.

Boy is this plugin moving along! Paired with Weatherfax, Opencpn is going to really have weather covered! This one is very enticing because of the small file size and speed. ...Just what is needed sometimes with slow connections.

Weatherfax_pi is quite complete, and makes lots of weather products available via various communications. It uses files that tend to be a little larger. It too is a remarkable plugin.

from what I can tell it covers the north atlantic and brazil. Any possibility of other regions?

Do you know any other sources of IACFleet data but NADI, Brazil and NOAA ?

Am experiencing some issues with loading the fleet code from Nadi. Normally use the PhysPlot which works fine. But am interested in having this data available in OpenCPN.

OpenCPN: version 4.0.0
Windows 8 Dell

Downloaded and installed the Fleet Code plugin this morning. Activated the plugin and see the icon on top of the screen.

Created a folder in my downloads called Fleetcode that I move the Nadi Fleet code from my inbox on Sailmail.

I clicked on the icon in OpenCPN and pointed it to the entry just placed in the Fleetcode folder.

Jumping back to the OpenCPN I see the barometric pressure lines but also see some long yellow lines. Using Physplot the data loads just fine.

Can you help me sort this out?

Thank You

Chuck

Chuck...
Screenshoot? The file not displaying correctly?

Thanks
