Clientrawextra.txt forecast?

Hi All,

I was looking Clientrawextra.txt field 531 it shows —
it is the wd or vp forecast field what do i have to set so it will work
thanks thanks Beau

Control panel

Keep in mind that VP forecast needs a fair few hrs before it can do a prediction. I can really recommend WXSIM it is excellent in weather predictions.

Hope this helps.
