Hi there, > I'm a non-academic user of your AWIPS-2 CAVE using the Centos 7 VM for > non-profit sport > aviation gliding events.

This specific limitation can be seen if you try to load any satellite RGB products from the menu (see attached screenshot). With the ability to run directly on the graphics card (as with the Windows and CentOS direct installs) you should be able to see products like the ones shown in this blog about CIRA colorized GOES data: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/awips-tips-colorized-goes-cira > My understanding is that I'm missing some features of image overlays without > those Nvidia > graphic cards.

The only limitation we're aware of is the display of RGB satellite images as mentioned above. > Using a VM with Centos 7 (or whatever you decide to replace it with after > it's support goes > away) doesn't matter much to me.

I think as long as your OS supports VMware Workstation Player (https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation-player.html) then you should always be able to run the CAVE VM we build and distribute. > Perhaps this video demonstrating the feature differences would be good to > show AWIPS users at > the upcoming AMS 2024 Conference... which I'll be viewing virtually. As far as we know, the limitation is pretty isolated, so I don't think we'll be producing a video to demonstrate it. > Thanks for all your work...
