McIDAS-V Support Forums

Bob,
That finally worked! I had actually placed the .jar file in the wrong System directory. Attached is a sample image now displayed at the correct radar location.
Thanks again for all your help and patience,
Ken

Bob,
Thanks.
I could not find the original mcidasv.jar file in my McIDAS-V-System directory. I did copy your version of mcidasv.jar to the McIDAS-V-System directory, and then started McIDAS-V. However, I still don't see the Yueyang radar site in the station list.

Bob,
Thanks for the guidance and for providing the XML file. I followed your directions, but, unfortunately, this doesn't work. I'm still using McV v1.4 because v1.5 and 1.6 will not work on my Windows PC.

I was able to closely replicate your results with the temperature display, except that the units in my display is degrees Kelvin. Any further help with this is g...

Bob and Joleen,
Thanks for all your time, effort, and insight into my inquiry! I plan to try your suggestions ASAP.
This info will also be tremendously helpful for the NUCAPS team. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

I am attempting to display plan or map view images from the attached NUCAPS EDR file in netCDF format, as shown in the attached images. Upon attempt to load the dataset, the "non-compliant netCDF tool" window opens. From this tool, I can only view individual variables, but no plan view ima...

Bob, Yes- the following is the stack trace output for the two errors: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class ucar.unidata.view.geoloc.MapProjectionDisplayJ3D at ucar.unidata.view.geoloc.MapProjectionDisplay.getInstance(MapProjectionDisplay.java:413) at ucar.unidata.view.geoloc.Ma...

Bob, I was able to run these tests, however, I am still receiving the same errors: map projection error and Java null pointer exception. 1. Through a command prompt, cd to your McIDAS-V-System directory and run: runMcV.bat -tempuserpath This tempuserpath flag will start up McIDAS-V as if it were the...
