New Update Coming?

Dunno if the emulator will accept the upper corrections I made in bold but here goes

Public Sub SkyIdentification(skyident As String)
If (LCase(skyident) = "mocldy") Then Skyfound = "27": Exit Sub ' at night
If (LCase(skyident) = "ptcldy") Then Skyfound = "29": Exit Sub ' at night
If (LCase(skyident) = "mocldy") Then Skyfound = "28": Exit Sub ' at daytime
If (LCase(skyident) = "ptcldy") Then Skyfound = "30": Exit Sub ' at daytime

The changes I made correspond to TWC's reports unless the conditions I changed cannot be pulled into the emulator

i was going to link a copy of the nws directives in regards to words used, but this does not include all, just forecast words, however still informative: http://www.weather.gov/os/public/dir/CCF_Specifications.pdf
if i find it, i will link the one inregards to the "regional weather roundup" (current conditions)..

blgsno - blowing snow (icon 15)
hvysno - heavy snow (icon 42)
drzl - light rain/mist (icon 9)
drizzle - drizzle (icon 9)
foggy - fog (icon 20)
smoke - smoke (icon 19 or 22)
snow - snow (icon 16)
      - snow with wind (icon 43)
flrrys - snow flurries (icon 13)

These are the ones I know about right now...hopefully this helps.

-Question: Is there another regional satellite as an option?  For me, my map displays the central plains instead of northern plains.
-Question: Will the 5-day forecast be entered the same way it is now?  My NWS office doesn't put out the extended forecast in that format (or at least the system doesn't find it when I search to setup the config).
-Question: Will the sunrise/sunset data be grabbed from the NWS site with this build?  The current method claims the sun rises at 3:30a and sets at 7:20p here :S

Here's another thing you can use.  I recorded these today if you want to replace the voice for the currents and forecast.  To me, the other voice was somewhat depressing.      Enjoy!

i am working on the airport package, is there a list of major airports that are in this country.. like BWI, JFK, PHL.. the top tier airports.. basically ones that we would be interested in seeing data on.. thanks!

Here's a full list

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airports_in_the_United_States#Primary_airports

either Providence (PVD) or Boston (BOS) works for me

Those top 12 work excellent for me!  I think it covers the nation really well and they are the busiest airports in the country anyway so my two cents is to go with that!

Brian, how is it looking for the overall progress?  Did you need any help with anything else?

I don't know if you've seen this or not but here's a video of weatherscan local displaying the airport package at the end. http://twcclassics.com/video/watch.php?file=local-forecast/WeatherScanXL2

Brian, I have a clip that includes the airport package on WSL. PM me if you're interested.

gt1racer:
the section from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airports_in_the_United_States_by_passengers_boarded#By_international_passengers for international flights seems sensable, whats your opinion ?

[Localonthe8s]

Do u néed airport codes? I can help with that part since I'm an aviation geek myself. Pm me Brian and I'll see what I can do ;
