Satellite Feed Ideas for XL Emulator

(1/3) > >>

cc17926:
Alright guys, an idea was thrown at me awhile ago, and I figured that I *might* bite on it. However, I need YOUR opinion. Although my emulator is geared to have the likeness of the XL, the emulator is powerful enough to support other designs than what you know and currently expect.

What I am trying to do is add into the emulator a "satellite feed" kind of emulator for all those who would like to see a simple looping satellite feed, or even add it as a package to their current emulator lineup.

I have pre-selected 4 different designs to pick from, each of which I can work on to add into the emulator, the most popular choice is what I will work on. Along with the best choice, a set of background graphics would need to be created, and (hopefully) donated towards this effort.

The options are as follows:

Opt #1: A late '90s looking satellite forecast, no radar.

Opt #2: A forecast using a black 3rd's bar, however icons will be XL icons, uses radar

Opt #3: A forecast using no lower 3rd's, maps will show forecast icons, no radar.

Opt #4: A forecast "national weatherscan" style.

If there are any other potential satellite feed canidates that I should add into this, please let me know.

Poll runs till the end of Feburary, so may the best forecast win!!

Forecast two with a black ldl looks good to me B)

I'd say option #4. A national Weatherscan feed would be the perfect companion to the Weatherscan Local emulator.  :yes:

Localonthe8s:
I like #1. It has that nostalgic feel to it, I remembered the seeing the sat lf a few times when my XL failed.

toxictwister00:
I like option #4 the best, it would go well with the Weatherscan XL emulator, :yes: Option #1 isn't bad either.
