Help requested! Weather module working fine in Farenheit, but this is of no use to me. Switching to metric in the settings disables the forecasting functions. Current weather is displayed correctly in Celcius however the tool tip forecast appears with no data in it.

What are the METAR and Weather.com codes for your location?

Sorry, there is a bug in the current version of Winstep Xtreme that prevents it from reporting negative temperatures in the weather forecast and instead displays them as 'N/A'.

Brrrr... Must be cold there. :wink:

Anyway, I just corrected this problem and the fix will be in the next release... Sorry for the inconvenience. :(

Thanks for checking that out so quickly Jorge. Much of the world experiences below zero celcius temperatures so the fix is needed to this useful module. Yeah it's cold here, but I'm enjoying it ... heading out snowboarding tonight! When can I expect this fix/release?

Soon, I hope... :D

If you're a registered Winstep user you can always join the Winstep Beta Forums, since updates are generally relased for testing there a few days before being released to the public in General.

Stein, I gave you access to the Beta Discussion forums. Head over there, a new private beta has just been released which, among other improvements, will also fix the negative weather forecast temperatures problem. :wink:
