General Discussion / WeatherScan XL Emulator Project
« on: July 06, 2008, 10:38:57 PM »
I just wanted to let all of the members of TWC Today know about the ongoing WeatherScan emulator project. Here is a little background information.

In 2003, Brian (cc17926) began to create a WeatherStar Jr. emulator. That quickly grew and became the WeatherScan XL. It uses several servers to download and compile custom maps and data for each individual user. Currently it is in a limited release state meaning it is not fully public but open to those who meet the requirements. It is asked that a person have a dedicated system to run the emulator and to stream it to the internet. Recently users who have powerful computers and leave them on 24/7 have been allowed to use Virtual PCs to run the emulator. Two members of this forum currently are using the emulator, Stephen and Mike.  :happy:

At the moment sign ups are on hold while a big update is prepared. This update will feature a weather alert system complete with the classic XL scroll and alert tone along with a weather bulletin page. They will resume soon so of you meet the requirements please head over to the forums and post a request to join the project.
