Re: Problem with BW on Christmas race

Board » Technical Support

It may be right in most cases, but for this race, if we except the possibility to pass above New Guinea, a grib at 7 or 14 days should not make any difference right now...

Thank you guys, it works fine now.

I didn't know that the message error concerned the grib file until this morning, but it was not the first time I had this problem, I shall know for the future.

76, BW is dealing with grib files in a pretty way, as I have now added a grib for 14 days without more problem !

Problem with BW on Christmas race

Board » Technical Support

Hi everybody !

When I try to calculate a route on BW, I have a message error saying "unable to reach end point"

After checking with Jeff, it seems that the grib file I get from Brain's site is the cause of the problem, for exemple BW works fine with a grib file from Ugrib.

Is someone else experiencing the same ?

Thanks
Josh

Re: Bluewater soft

Board » Technical Support

I have received the following answer from Jeff :

Quote- There was a problem with the way that GRIB files were loaded. The date and time stamp on the GRIB is converted to an internal representation (decimal hours since a fixed start date). The conversion makes some calls to system time functions. The calls worked fine as long as the computer's local time zone was west of Greenwich (that is, UTC - ) but failed for local time zones east of Greenwich (UTC +) . That's why I never saw the problem on my computers -- I've only ever run the program in the Western hemisphere! Unquote

The latest version of BW should now be working fine for the poor guys on the eastern side !!!

Hi guys !

Schakel, it seems we have exactly the same problem... at least for your 7 running pc !

Exmer, I have a 32 bit machine and changed the directory file a few days ago. I also tried compatibility mode without result.

BW is even not working with the grib files furnished as examples...

Thank you Schakel and Exmer

I have vista on my pc, yesterday I asked my friend Do Ping to do exactly the same I'm doing and he got the wind correct... but his pc is running with xp !

Thank you all for your help but I think I will give up as I have no idea what is going wrong...

Cheers

Exmer,

zulu time was already selected...

But as you can see in the attached file, I have never had any wind data in the little box down right, instead I have "calm"

Maybe is it not only a question of time...

I don't want to bother you with my problems, but usually I'm available between 1 and 6 p.m. utc and after 8 p.m

Regards
