That's part off the glitches
the IS background during the LF is missing, also.
I'll upload those images later.

Yeah, mine is working the same way as well, Jesse. I wonder why though, that it never does report delays, as I have seen delays according to Lansing's Capital City Arpt website before.
I have the same problem with Atlantic City and Lehigh Valley Airport, as these airports are used in the Weatherscans here. My guess is they don't report them publicly to the FAA or something.

Yep, same here. I noticed them on as of the 3:59 PM EDT LF. It seems to me like they have been permanently turned on again :blink:

I saw snow mistakenly being shown on one of the radar frames earlier which caused the indicators to show.

That's part off the glitches
the IS background during the LF is missing, also.
I'll upload those images later.

What's your STAR ID#?

I seem to be noticing that there are some discrepancies between the Lansing and E.L. Intellistar units. Namely, the music sounds remixed and different as compared to the Lansing headend.

Here is a video to exemplify this:


I honestly don't understand this, as to why the music sound different on the E.L. headend as opposed to the Lansing headend. I have no idea why, but this is driving me crazy.

I've been noticing that the LF has been a little different recently, too.  My IS sometimes skips the detailed current conditions (first slide) and goes straight to the regional temp map, which never used to happen.  It also occasionally skips the 'currently in our area...bla bla bla' on the first slide.  I have noticed this happening in the past week and a half during Weather Center and other live programming like that, during the normal LOT8s versus the shortened version after programs like When Weather Changed History, etc.  It seems as though TWC is attempting to switch up the LF somehow but has failed...much like the design aspect for the current LF (backgrounds/transitions/etc).  I'd be happy with the detailed currents, regional temps, radar, daypart forecast graphic and 7-day.  Just my 5 cents...

Your right, as of last Friday, they have been experimenting with new flavors most of which don't include the Current Conditions screen anymore.
