Hi guys !

Schakel, it seems we have exactly the same problem... at least for your 7 running pc !

Exmer, I have a 32 bit machine and changed the directory file a few days ago. I also tried compatibility mode without result.

BW is even not working with the grib files furnished as examples...

Regards

Hi Joshua,

I just tried the latest version, 1.4, and it isn't. I was going to file a bug report but work got in the way.

I have received the following answer from Jeff :

Quote- There was a problem with the way that GRIB files were loaded. The date and time stamp on the GRIB is converted to an internal representation (decimal hours since a fixed start date). The conversion makes some calls to system time functions. The calls worked fine as long as the computer's local time zone was west of Greenwich (that is, UTC - ) but failed for local time zones east of Greenwich (UTC +) . That's why I never saw the problem on my computers -- I've only ever run the program in the Western hemisphere! Unquote

The latest version of BW should now be working fine for the poor guys on the eastern side !!!

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
