    • windy-plugin-radiosonde

      Good afternoon Windy community

      This plugin is a team effort, by @mhaberler and myself. Thank you for @vicb for the use of your code and @johnckealy for the initial inspiration.

      Our plugin displays radiosonde (weather balloon) data on Windy. You can then compare it to recent historical forecasts.

      Please read the comprehensive description on Michaels blog: https://blog.mah.priv.at/release-announcement-windy-plugin-radiosonde/

      We hope you enjoy it!!

      PS: It is interesting to use it with the new thermal layer.

      Hi Windy fans and Aviators

      I have been (very slowly) working on this for a while. It might be somewhat superfluous, since @marekd is creating something similar.

      There are still kinks to be ironed out, but usable:

      • Go to windy.com/plugins and enter windy-plugin-fp. Once loaded, right click/long press on the map for context menu. Then click Flight planner.
      • The plugin is meant for recreational VFR flight planning.
      • Use the weather picker to plot a route.
      • You can also upload a route. (Upload formats: .gpx, .ep1, .efp. Download: .gpx.)
      • Airports (found in the Windy Airports layer) can be used to add a waypoint.
      • Sliding the aircraft icon along the route will set the Windy map to the appropriate time and altitude.
      • Altitude, speed, time and date can be set for selected legs.
      • Long press on a row in the flight plan to select single leg.
      • Click the "Read Wx" button to fly along the flight plan and read the weather data. Do not move the map during this period, may take a minute or more.
      • Ground speed and corrected ETE are then calculated.
      • "Allow Drag" button allows dragging the waypoints. "Lock Drag" again to prevent dragging accidentally.
      • In the Settings menu: Alert values for different overlays can be set. The alert sections will then be marked with red along the route after "Read Wx" has run.
      • Airspace data from openAIP.net has been translated to geojson and can be loaded in the Airspace menu. Do not load too many countries.

      hope it is of value....

      Latest version: windy-plugin-fp@0.1.8 : Added @marekd 's route planner .

    • windy-plugin-polars

      For sailors:

      • Go to windy.com/plugins.
      • Load plugin directly from npm: Enter windy-plugin-polars.
      • Select a boat to load the polar plot.
      • Place the picker.
      • Drag the arrow head for direction.
      • The plugin will show your speed.

      First step towards a sailing planner.

    • Day-night terminator plugin

      windy-plugin-day-night

      A day-night terminator plugin, using Vladimir Agafonkin's SunCalc library. (This is also used for the sun-position plugin, by @jacobsjo) .

      Changes: v 0.0.36 (21-12-2020):

      1. It is possible to either close the left pane and keep the lines active, or uninstall the plugin complete. (Few plugins uninstall cleanly.)
      2. Windy style time progress bar added for Full year (desktop and mobile).
      3. Different terminator times, for the picker position, displayed in left pane as the picker is moved.
      4. Click on a time-pair to display this in the picker if you want.
      5. Time zone name, daylight saving time rules and offset displayed.
      6. Terminator lines are responsive to the satellite of radar overlay timestamps.
      7. Use the URL to open at a location or time like this:
        https://www.windy.com/plugins/windy-plugin-day-night?lat=-42.5&lng=146.3&date=2020-11-18T06:00Z

      7-Jan-21: Optimized plotting the lines, now smoother and a bit faster.

    • windy-plugins-saws-warnings

      Hi

      This plugin reads the warnings geojson data from http://www.weathersa.co.za/warnings and displays it on Windy.

      Hope the SA weather services don't have objections.

      For those not familiar with plugins:

      • URL: www.windy.com/plugins.
      • Type in: windy-plugin-saws-warnings and click Load plugin.
      • Hopefully Borat will appear.
      • Close plugin pane and right click on screen for context menu. Then click SAWS warnings.
      • Load may take several seconds.
      • Use the weather picker to view different regions and warnings.
      • So far only today shown, not tomorrow and D3-5.

      Probably still buggy.
      enjoy

    • RE: Average wind along a plan leg

      @Jamie68 the flight planner plugin calculates the ground speed based on the wind and altitude, and then the time (ETE) for each leg.

    • RE: Multiple layers

      I added this functionality to the Multipicker plugin.

      Open windy.com on any number of tabs, or windows of Chrome (or any chromium browser). It also works well on different screens.

      Install and open Multipicker on each of these tabs. Open the settings window (in each tab) and under Other settings check sync tabs and/or sync pickers.

      The map position/zoom and picker position will now be synced.

      It works best if you install the windy app on the desktop.

    • RE: Text size

      It is difficult to do. I tried. It is possible to zoom the body or documentElement, but then the mouse events are wrong (still unzoomed), and plugins like rplanner and sounding break.
