[Rasp] RASP Housekeeping updates

[Francois De Villiers]

Hi All

https://raspzoom.netlify.app

Now included in RASP Zoom, accessible via the main menu, is a
graphical comparison between this morning's weather forecast and last
night's forecast for today. This feature will soon support comparisons
between the 2 km and 1.5 km (not yet available in the new RASP) models
against the current 1.333 km forecast model. The key takeaway is that
last night's forecast remains reliable for making cross-country (XC)
flight decisions today, with variations of only a few percent under
typical flying conditions. Check it out yourself at your favourite
flying site!

Regards

Francois

This should keep up with the archives for a while and when it eventually overflows it wont break the running forecasts. I have also set the forecasts to only keep one archive per day from each of ZS2 and ZS12. Going forward we will have to make a plan to store these archives and make them available when required.
