Thanks Felix I did the XL v1 emulation I was doing all over from scratch, see below.

WeatherStar XL v.1 Emulation - Major Changes

These are all the changes since late January:
Narration added (Done by "ducking" the music)
Font change
Shadow added to text
Regional maps changed slightly
Less shadow on the bottom of regional maps
Animation added to Almanac screen
Correct font used for time and date
White 2pt. outline added to text on title bars to make the text a little more bolder
Transitions slowed down slightly
Blue Color for screens are darkened
Title bar is no longer gradient, instead it's transparent.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

« on: April 09, 2009, 11:33:47 AM »

Please explain to me how Nicole is an asset to TWC?    OK, she's a hurricane hunter, but what does that have to do with TWC?  Yeah, she reports about the hurricanes, but they have Dr. Steve Lyons for that.  So, please do explain how she is an asset, because I really can't see it.

I am sure TWC would survive without her .  Maybe I am a little bias because I don't enjoy her on-air performance, but I just dont see her as an asset.

She's not an asset,  They can do without her.

Everything Else TWC / Re: Why Do You Watch TWC?

« on: April 09, 2009, 11:30:35 AM »

When I first started watching it was for pretty much everything, the graphics, LF music and severe wx coverage, etc. Over the past few years, TWC's forecasting has gotten bad since that HiRAD crap came out, it's always wrong and it updates too slow. Now I watch for the LF (usually when storm are around) and to watch severe weather coverage and that's about it.

I just got over my ducky moods today thanks to a song.

Music always ducks me out of a bad mood.

WeatherStar XL v3 Emulation Test Run (No Animation)

My self made emulations are back and I decided to work on this version of the XL for the first time EVER! I attempted to add narration and "ducking" between the narration and music, Let me know what you think! ALL WEATHER DATA IS FAKE. Song: Mark Carter - Walking in Rhythm (one of my favorites from the July 2008 playlist)

Ok this is weird, TWC says it's 43° and cloudy, but I'm looking outside and there's a light rain/snow mix action going on.

Here it is, notice the airport (College Park) is reporting a Wintry Mix

I don't know if this is just my Intellistar or anybody else's, but my Intellistar has been ending two seconds or so past the music, and the audio is constantly in and out for the last 20-30 seconds. Also, I saw two seconds of the satellite LF before my Intellistar cued in on the most recent LF. However, this only occurred at 9:38 AM EDT.

I saw this problem a lot yesterday, I even saw the Sat LF run the whole 2 mins. whenever it came up.

Haha, growing up in south Louisiana 60° is cold to me. Haha, no way! Snow again!? Snow in April in Atlanta is rare. You've had a good year with the amount of snowfall.

Yep, 4.2 inches and to add to that a new record low possible tonight.

Right now - 36° and cloudy with scattered snow showers around.
