One of the most requested feature is finally here! Now you can plan your trip or flight with our route planner.

How does it work?

Just use Distance & planning, which is a feature you might already be familiar with, and select the forecast type you need.

For example VFR:

Several points for discussion:

• All winds are relative to the direction of movement by default, i.e. the green arrow pointing to the right is a tailwind, the red arrow pointing to the left is a headwind. You can change direction of movement (form bottom to top, from left to right) or set absolute directions (north up).
• Do you think any particular forecast type or values are lacking?

@stitch Do not be sad, cross section will be soon (it is almost finished, just some UI glitches are missing), but this is even bigger thing with higher priority :-) You will love it!

And here we are, it is alive!

Since the previous beta test was useful and thanks a lot to everyone for joining in, we decided to continue with beta testing. The new version is ready!

What's new in version 35.0.0

• New hurricane tracker with history and newly also with forecast (if available for selected hurricane)
• Added HRRR models for North America
• Fixed bounds for local models
• Tens of bugfixes and improvements

Dev changes (for plugin developers)

• Whole client is now in TypeScript
• Removed @plugins/product-descriptions
• Local model bounds are now 2D array of coordinates: [lat, lon][][]
• Renamed wRender to weatherTableRenderer in @plugins/detail-render
• Removed monkey patching of @plugins/detail-render, @plugins/pois-libs, @plugin/detail and @plugin/picker. It should not affect internal API, but just in case...
• Huge amount of other internal changes without changing client API

New application has a support for login/registration via Google, Apple and Facebook. It is not visible in the app, but it already contains all the necessary logic.
Anyway, thank you for your report. It certainly should not sue Facebook on app init, but only when the user chooses to login or register through Facebook. We will check it out if we can do anything about it.

@andrestotorica picker.getParams was removed in a favor of W.store.get("pickerLocation"). Unfortunately, it must be fixed directly in plugin by its author.

Sorry guys for late reply. We have been quite busy implementing radiation. We apologize for all complications. Module @plugins/plugin-data-loader is fixed now, sorry again and thanks @rittels .

Beta test is closed, v35.0.0 has been released. Thank you all for your help!

@liam-pankhurst We just test data post-processing, then it is added to the client and sent to our internal testers. After this process, it can go to the production. It usually takes 3-6 weeks (depends on how many bugs are in data). But no guarantee! It's just behind-the-scenes info.

@idefix37 You are right. Unfortunately, we will hide a hurricane forecast part for the next release until we solve this issue (we will keep the history as it is in production now). We think it is better to show nothing than stupidity. We are going to fix it and release the fix asap. Thanks again!

@idefix37 As usually, thank you! :-)

• just for to be sure, we will check the Safir-Simpson scale in a HT

• HRRR archive will be fixed soon, thank you for pointing it out

• I have not seen what you mean with "Fixed bounds for local models".

  then it is fixed correctly :-)

@liam-pankhurst What a coincidence... Stay tuned ;-)

Since the previous beta test was useful and thanks a lot to everyone for joining in, we decided to continue with beta testing. The new version is ready!

@idefix37 Unofficial, friendly info with no guarantees :-) We have mobile version of route planner in our timeline. It will take a while, because we need to improve something around login/registration and subscription. But after that, we will get into the route planner.
