General Emulator Discussion / Fixes to the Emulator/Simulator?

« on: February 17, 2022, 09:18:13 PM »

Just curious, I use the WeatherScan Emulator on my weather channel.  Lately, it seems there is less and less options working which if activated causes it to crash.  Are there any plans to fix issues with the radar, marine product, and airport products?  I am sure there are some of us that would like to help out if needed.  Just sad this project has gone on so long and is slowly being depreciated, let's keep it alive!

Just a side note, if you are having issues with it working, I can only use the Weather, Traffic, and Weather Windows options at this point, anything else it will crash on start-up.  Yes, it still works with some options enabled.

General Emulator Discussion / Packages / Pages Not Working Round-Up

« on: June 26, 2021, 05:54:26 PM »

Hello all, was hoping some of the current issues with the simulator will be fixed soon.
I been playing around with different settings, and did a list of current packages / pages that
are currently not working...I know some of these have already been addressed due some of the data sources being moved or taken offline ...

Local Forecast:
Radar pages not loading radar data, as noted before

Airports:
Seems to be working once again, guess it was fixed?  Although delay info usually shows as a number?

Traffic:
Crashes program, cannot use at all for past week or so, app returns mismatch error

Boat and Beach:
Sea Surface pages, first two not updating, third one (UV) seems ok though

Only other one I use currently is Weather Window which seems fine, so not sure about Outdoor Activity and some of the other packages.

General Emulator Discussion / Is this still being supported?

« on: May 06, 2021, 03:11:46 PM »

Hello all,  I have not used the WeatherScan sim in a while, and noticed there are a lot of things that are no longer working.  Is this project still being supported?  A few issues I noticed with radars and airports sections, radar just shows up blank when there is storms in area, then if you select airports section, it just crashes the program.  Anyhow, I hope this is still being support, it has so much potential.

Contributions / WeatherStar XL Graphics for WeatherScan Emulator!

« on: May 15, 2020, 01:37:52 PM »

Not sure if anyone is interested.  I was able to port over many of the WeatherStar XL graphics package backgrounds for use with the WeatherScan emulator here on the site. I find the backgrounds with the pictures that come default make it difficult to read the screen at times, so decided to give this a try.  I started with the /custom folder and worked my way through the rest of the png/jpg files.  I also made some alternate "storm mode" with a red background for the 'your local forecast portion" (which I store in the desert theme folder).  Excuse these pictures, for some reason my screen capture is not working on the machine that runs the emulator software. If anyone would like the background files let me know, be happy to share.
