Gliding Software > Spine

it appears to have stopped plotting NOTAMs

(1/1)

Madambreakneck:
I have Spine 5.5 and Spine 5.4 on different pooters (both WinXP) and neither plot NOTAMs any more. It could be because they're misinterpreting dates - I notice that all today's batch via the AIS website are listed by Spine as being valid from and to Sat 30-Dec-1899 00:00 UTC

Just checked, the 'download' option does plot.
Date representation in Download, thus:

<span class="endgap">
<b>
FROM:
</b>
24 SEP 2009 00:01
</span>
<span>
<b>
TO:
</b>
08 APR 2010 23:59
</span>

and same date representation from AIS website, thus:

<span style="padding: 0 20px 0 0">
B) FROM: 09/09/24 00:01
</span>
C) TO: 10/04/08 23:59


maybe that's something to do with it.

jeff:
Thanks for spotting this and reporting it.

Yes, the dates are given in different formats for the two methods (wish they would standardise!), and Spine processes accordingly. I can't believe they have changed the format yet again! (Meaning: it wouldn't surprise me in the least.)

I will check this out. If the format has indeed changed, I'll try to make the parsing a bit more robust, in case they feel like changing it back again.

PS: My internet connection was down this morning, otherwise I'd probably have picked this up earlier.
