I'm assuming this is your first try at emulating the Intellistar 2, and it looks good for your first attempt. I'd like to give you a few suggestions on how to improve it; these suggestions come from what I did with my emulator.
This list is a little long, so hold in there.
- The key code for the degree symbol is Alt 0176. If you can't do that, PPT 2007, which I assume is what you're using, has the degree symbol.
- If you want to animate your radar, go to your regions 1800 Doppler and animate it. Save every frame that comes up (there should be 5), and number them in order. Then, put all the images on top of each other in the powerpoint, and set the animations so they alternate, like a radar would. .4 seconds between images should do the trick.
- With the Hourly Forecast tab, I would make all of that stuff come in all at once, and instead of peeking in, make it fade with a speed of .2 seconds.
- The 36-hour forecast looks really good. Don't change it.
- For Air Quality, I'd visit
www.airnow.gov for current values and levels. It's a bit more accurate than the Weather Channel's map.
- With the 4-Day Forecast, once again, I'd get everything to fade in at once.
If you'd like, I can send you a few things from my PPT for you to use. Overall, the presentation looks good. None of the suggestions I made are necessary, and I'm not telling you to use them. I just gave them to help further improve your presentation.
