WXSIM 2018 Released!

Hey Tom,

A few observations about WxSim 2018

  1. I ran into a similar issue with my antivirus program (AVAST) when installing. It didn’t like the upgrade file, but I got around that.
  2. WxSim ran fine.
  3. Like others, I have no fire.csv file. Is there something in WxSim that should be checked to get this?
  4. I did get both FIRE and WBGT data in lastret.txt by selecting those options in WRET.
  5. The FWI forecasts appear to be very good. I’ve been using a product called FWI Calc for several years. Your new FWI forecast value is right in line with what FWI Calc gives me.
  6. One suggestion - can you increase the selection limit for ‘Other Data’ in WRET to something more than 15? With the addition of Fire Weather Index, I had to uncheck a box because I was previously maxed out.

Great job and thanks for the update.

Steve
