Ameen, We were able to successfully open and display your .forecast grib file in the IDV. Here is how we did it. 1/ We open the .forecast file as a grib file. (It sounds like you made it this far already.) 2/ We created a 3D display of the temperature contours. (Sounds like you did this too.) 3/ We changed the projection to Europe. Projections --> Predefined --> Europe. 4/ We increased the contour interval in the Display Control (Dashboard, Displays Tab).
