    • Autoload plugin

      Please, please, please, add the option to automatically load a plugin specified in the URL. It's annoying to always need to find my plugin in the list and open it manually. Also, it's hard to refer a plugin to other people, I need to give them instructions instead of just a URL.

      I understand that there are some security concerns but can you allow this at least for the official plugins that show in the UI?

      When doing it, please allow loading more plugins at the same time, the URL could be e.g. windy.com/?plugin=pg-mapa&plugin=airspaces.

    • RE: Windy.com introduces soaring forecast

      This layer is extremely over-optimistic. It predicts heights for 1000 m or more higher than they are predicted by other methods (and then they really are). Take a look at the screenshot: The Thermals layer predicts 3200 m (which is extremely rare in Czechia) whereas it will actually be around 1890 m (as predicted by another method).

      The method used by my plugin has its “proof” in the diagram:

      I have no idea how the number coming from the Thermals layer is computed but it's most certainly wrong.

    • Remove dead plugins

      Please remove my plugin Aladin wind (windy-plugin-aladin). The data source is gone and it's not probable that it will be back.

      Please also remove the plugin Paragliding flyability (windy-plugin-pg) which is not mine. Its data source is also gone, https://pg-api.ovh/ is not even in the DNS anymore. This plugin didn't work for long periods in the past. I've contacted the author several times which always helped only for a short time.

    • RE: Develop Windy Plugin to extend functionality of Windy

      @ivo The plugins are great. Would it be possible to persist the plugins I loaded? Either by storing the loaded plugins in Local Storage or at least by putting the loaded plugins into URL (something like /?plugin=windy-plugin-pg).

      It works for me now too.

      Let us know if we should add your plugin to the list

      I've created windy-plugin-pg-mapa. I would like it to be published. Please let me know if you need me to do something else.

      There's also a Windy API version at https://pg.vrana.cz/mapa/ which works only with GFS but it's available on mobiles too.

    • RE: Autoload plugin

      I've created a poor man solution to load the plugins I always use with a bookmarklet. Create a browser bookmark with this URL (strip the newlines if need to but e.g. Chrome does that automatically, keep javascript:):

      javascript:
      function loadPlugin(id) {
        document.querySelector('[href="#load"]').click();
        setTimeout(() => {
          const input = document.querySelector('[placeholder="Example: windy-plugin-hello-world"]');
          input.value = id;
          input.dispatchEvent(new InputEvent('input'));
          input.nextElementSibling.children[1].click();
        });
      }
      loadPlugin('windy-plugin-pg-mapa');
      setTimeout(() => {
        W.broadcast.fire('rqstOpen', 'plugins');
        setTimeout(() => loadPlugin('windy-plugin-flymet'));
      }, 3000);
      

      Then open https://www.windy.com/plugins and click this bookmark. It will open the plugins I use.

    • Plugins not compatible

      Almost all the plugins now say “not compatible”. What should we do to make it compatible? Is there some announcement?

    • RE: Plugins not compatible

      @Suty I've updated the plugin to the new system. It works in the dev mode. It still says it's not compatible. What do I need to do to re-enable it in Windy plugins list?

    • Unable to select Meteoblue and Arome in Wind comparison

      Wind comparison allows selecting ECMWF, GFS and Icon as primary but Arome and Meteoblue not. I see no reason for it as both Arome and Meteoblue could be selected as a model for the map. Arome even stays as primary when showing the wind comparison and it is then in this weird state that it's both selected and disabled:

      Screenshot from 2020-04-19 21-17-51.png

      Meteoblue couldn't be primary for an unknown reason. Could it be just because it's named NEMS in the model selection and Meteoblue in the Wind comparison? Please unify this, it's confusing.

    • RE: Which model is most accurate for Europe?

      I compared the forecasted and observed wind at some paragliding spots in Czechia. This was the result:

      1. Arome, IconEu
      2. Aladin (local model not available in Windy)
      3. GFS, ECMWF

      Raw data: https://pg.vrana.cz/meteo/

      This matches my random observations. If IconEu and ECMWF disagrees then IconEu is usually right.

    • RE: Give access to interpolator

      I've temporarily solved it by using an internal API:

      W.tileInterpolator.createFun(interpolate => {
        var data = interpolate({lat, lon});
      });
      

      @marekd The plugins aren't available on mobile which is a deal breaker for me. But I'll probably create both the plugin and the app using API.

    • RE: Plugins not working on mobiles/pads: what's the definitive word?

      The plugins are actually available on mobile, there's just no menu item for them. If you open https://www.windy.com/plugins on mobile then you can use them. If you open this link from other app (not a browser) then you can use them even in the Windy app (which hijacks the opened URL and opens itself, at least on iOS).

    • RE: Load our meteorological data into your Windy Plugin

      This seems to be renamed to @windy/@plugins/plugin-data-loader. Is this change permanent or is it a bug? If permanent then please fix the docs and examples but I'd suggest keeping the original name.

    • RE: Load our meteorological data into your Windy Plugin

      @marekd, thanks for the update. Backwards compatibility is sacred for me so I'm surprised that you break it just to change a name, especially if there are official docs and examples around. I can understand that this was an omission but I don't understand not reverting it once reported. Can you please at least keep both names? (I don't know if some kind of aliases are possible here.)
