Re: Model Downloads

Sorry for the delayed response.  It looks like the hurricane model files on
ftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/atcf/aid_public/  has not been updating with 2012 model files.  I'll look into what the problem is and see if there is an automatic workaround.  Unfortunately, you will have to manually download them from the NHC ftp site at: ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/atcf/aid_public/
These files are gziped, so you will have to unzip them and make sure the file extension is .dat and put them in the following folder.
C:\ProgramData\Global Tracks 7\Data\HModels\

Regards,
Bryan

Oh, forgot one thing.  You can upzip the gzip files using 7zip.  It's a free program.  You can find it with a google search.

Re: Model Downloads

No problem.  Unfortunately, I haven't spent a lot of time keeping GT up to date.  Just not enough money in it.  I'll try to find some time to update it eventually and I'm really looking into creating an iPhone/iPad and Android weather app.  I've done some messing around with Tornado tracking and such and will start the tropical stuff soon.
Cheers,
Bryan

Thanks Batt2fd.  Glad to see GT is still useful to some even though it is very outdated.
Have a good one.

Re: Model Downloads

Invests are not downloading either.  How do I manually down load them?

Re: Model Downloads

Hi Batt2fd,
You can download them from:  ftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/atcf/btk/
It seems they have changed their location this season.
Be sure to put them in the C:\ProgramData\Global Tracks 7\Data\Invest  folder.
Thanks
Bryan
