Hey guys, I was just curios if anyone knew how to get wind speed and direction products onto gr. I've searched the internet and have had no luck so far. Any help would be awesome!

Non-radar data can be viewed in GR with the use of items called "placefiles" (or "place files"). Log into the GR owners forum (if nothing else, you should so you have access to the latest GR versions), and look through the Placefiles forum.

I provide some often-used placefiles... You can peruse those at http://grlevel3.tornadocentral.com .

There's also GRLevelXStuff.com ( http://www.grlevelxstuff.com/index.php?categoryid=14 ) for a large array of placefiles.

Mike,

You can also pay for a subscription to http://www.AllisonHouse.com for $10 per month and get what you are looking for (wind data) and then some. You basically go to the "Windows" menu in GRL3, then select the 2nd option down for "Show Placefile Manager". This is where you will add all of the placefiles that trip your trigger.

I had heard that Mr. Snyder maintains a website with a growing list of GRL3 goodies, so I'm going to peruse it and bookmark it for future reference. The other forums he mentioned in his post are invaluable for the inside information you will need related to GR products.

Thanks,
Mark

What is the correct way to add a placefile in GRL3? For example, I'd like to add the SPC watch file. I'm probably overlooking something, but haven't been able to add it.
