Mike, Thanks for your insight. What would it take to get the Windows client up to the same standards as Mac & Linux? Do more resources need to be allocated by Unidata to help achieve this goal? Would others in the Unidata community benefit? Brendon Hoch, M.S.

Hi Chris, The Windows client does not include the latest update or the GOES-R display plugins. I've been unable to release a working 17.1.1 Windows client and have shelved it for now, only supporting updates on Mac and Linux. Because of this, I can not recommend Windows workstations for AWIPS at this time. CentOS 6 or 7 Linux, or macOS, are the only currently supported operating systems for CAVE. I feel bad leaving that 16.2.2 Windows client out there but to download and install but having an old client available is better than no client available.

I have a couple of follow up questions. We have not been able to load GOES-16 on our Windows clients - is the Windows client theoretically able to load the images? At first I suspected it was a performance issue with our machines (they are 4 years old) but I just tested it on a newer machine and it still wouldn't go. The images load nicely on the Linux clients. Related to that, we are about to purchase new lab machines (Windows) and I want to ensure that they will be able to run CAVE efficiently. I can't find the Windows system requirements anymore. Can you tell me what configuration I should be shooting for with the new machines? We're going to have them for four years.

All of the channels and products can still be found in the "Product Browser" view until the next release is out.

Most of my links appear to point toward GOES-13 imagery from early January. Others point to no data at all. Running CAVE 17.1.1 on a Red Hat machine. Thanks, Chris -- Dr. Christopher C.
