Dear all, I am currently working on my MSc thesis, using WRF-Fire for research on pyro-convection. For visualizing my results, I planned on partially using VAPOR, especially to get a clear 3D image. I have recently done my test run and I wanted to play around with VAPOR for a bit. However, when loading in the WRF-Fire output file (which is like any wrfout\_d01… file), VAPOR just closes itself and this happens continuously. I did File-\>Import-\>WRF-ARW and selected the appropiate file Is there anybody here who has experience with this and perhaps knows a fix to the issue? I have VAPOR 3.3.0. installed. Best, Brian Verhoeven | Wagenigen University MSc student | The Netherlands ---

Hi Brian, Is there anyway that you can make a smallish version of your data set available? ---

Hi Clyne, Thank you for responding. Since it seems that I cannot add files directly in this message, I have a WeTransfer link with 1 wrfout file for one timestep (which is only 11mb). I hope that will be sufficient. If not: please let me know. > **[wrfout\_d01\_0001-01-01\_00\_30\_00](https://wetransfer.com/downloads/a497eb37f34fd0152fb2809a3720ed3f20210410084219/9a67cb)** > > 1 file sent via WeTransfer, the simplest way to send your files around the world Brian ---

Dear Clyne, It has been some time since we have had contact. Do you possibly have an update or any extra information on the use of VAPOR for this pupose? Brian ---

Apologies, Brian. I didn’t see the message regarding the link that you posted, and now it has expired. Could you please repost? Sorry again. ---

Of course! Here is a new link: [https://we.tl/t-jvgdl4qhtP](https://we.tl/t-jvgdl4qhtP) It contains a bigger file (~250mb) that contains all timesteps and it contains a small file that contains just one timestep. Let me know if you have any questions about the data/settings! ---

Dear John (sorry for thinking that Clyne was your first name), Thank you for looking into it and developing a fix! I look forward to the update and using VAPOR for my WRF-Fire analyses. Best, Brian ---

Dear John, I wanted to install the weekly build that is released 4 days ago, but it seems as if there is no installer present for Windows (I see the VAPOR3-3.4.1-CentOS7-Weekly.sh, VAPOR3-3.4.1-Darwin-Weekly.dmg and VAPOR3-3.4.1-Ubuntu18-Weekly.sh). The win64.exe seems to not be there. Where else can I download the corrected VAPOR version where the WRF-Fire issue is fixed in? Best, Brian
