New Update Coming?

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 ?

I Totally agree, it's way better then what i found

and i love your Local Airport Conditions Concept.

The background is a little too bright for that though... I'd look for something that's a tad darker so you can see the text easier.

[gt1racerlHDl]

how's this?

picture aint bad.. maybe if there were some clouds, it might help with the brightness.. when i build the render sequence to make the frame, i should post it and see how it looks..

Here are some for ideas:

http://minnesotagal.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/airplane1.jpg (good for the evenings/late afternoons)
http://www.zooqoo.com/media/pictures/resized/bhzvmipukd1232281349.jpg (shouldn't be a bad background; depicts a British Airways 744 airborne)

Maybe this photo for the upnext page: http://minnesotagal.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/airplane1.jpg
And maybe the first photo I attached for the local airport conditions, and the second one for the nation airport conditions. What do you think?

hey guys, all of you have some great background ideas! once i am done making the product work, i will try some of the images out and see how they appear.

the attached image is a concept of what i am working with this morning. it is live data, however i am still a ways away from having it functioning automatically. thats my project for the day today!
(the emulator is rendering this image btw)

enjoy, comments are welcome!!

I think I like the ones Bolt96 posted best for an airport background.

[Localonthe8s]

I like them!

I like the look.  I'm excited at how the emulator is coming along!  Is there a way to make the text easier to read??  Maybe a darker shadow?  The text is hard to see over that background in my opinion.

thank you for the feedback! the background shown was one of the canidates i picked to use for the frame, with a little tweaking, ill make it look right

Comments welcome and encouraged! Enjoy!

Weatherscan Local - Update Progress (Airport/Tides) - 8/4/2010

[TStormWarn]

Nice work!

[tuez13]

VERY nice!!!!  I'm extremely excited to give this new version a run! 

Couple things I noticed / would like to suggest:
- When it displays the current condition on the LDL, could it say "Currently: T-Storm" instead of just "T-Storm"?
- Barometric Pressure on the LDL says "29.91F In." right now - is it possible to have " 29.91" F "  or " 29.91in F "?
- LDL wind gusts "Wind: ESE 15 G25" (That's how I would suggest to display it)
- Temp on current airport conditions (sky condition and temp) is still somewhat hard to read
- Regional satellite from Wunderground for my area is centered over Nebraska, therefore placing the banner over North Dakota.  Is there an option to use TWC's enhanced  infrared satellite imagery (like the radar and radar/satellite maps)??
- LDL ad crawl?  Any interest in adding this?
- Tie in 5-day with extended forecast grabbed by zip code or something? 

Thanks for everything, Brian!

Wow nice update Brian!! Just a little I noticed as well.
-The new font you used for the day like (Wednesday) looks EXACTLY like the same font used in Wxscan! but could you possibly increase the size of that font by just a tiny bit?
-In response to tuez13's suggestion about the radar I agree, can you maybe just allow an option to use TWC's maps?
