Emulator Videos / Re: Anistorm's Emulator Clips

« on: March 23, 2010, 03:20:24 PM »

I actually installed it about a week and a half ago and I really enjoy it!  I wish some of the aspects were included in the XL emulator (like the LDL information, as well as the ability for the emulator to grab my local extended forecast for instance)!!

How about these?  I wasn't sure if the star section was a set height so here are two versions:
-Also, I figured the stars and background colors could be changed with the category you are in, i.e. member, admin, meteorologist, etc.

Hooray for VORTEX2!!!!  I was at SKYWARN re-certification this evening and the severe warnings coordinator mentioned it.  He was excited about it, too.  Pretty certain that it's still Vortex2 and Vortex3 will be in another 10-20 years (but hopefully sooner)

It looks normal to me, aside from the higher overall color and contrast of the entire video.

That's not true; our observation is taken from the airport at WU which is still one of the official observation points, with the option to view close personal stations.  Just an FYI.  Doesn't matter which source we use, just pointing it out

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't WU offer more weather information readily available versus TWC.com?  Whenever I have been on WU, it seems as though I have seen more info there versus TWC.com.

It's funny how important a small thing like a clock can be.  TWC must have been taking notes from NASA back when they forgot to convert their meters into feet for that Mars probe. >.>

I still think each location's IS should take care of the time, while leaving the clock on the national content for those viewers that don't have any form of a local STAR computer.  I guess I can live with Pacific Time if I haaaaaaaaaaaave to!     lol

I personally can't stand stretching a 4:3 image to 16:9. Bleh!!

+1 would agree with again

Absolutely agree.  Stretch looks really messed up.

I'm glad that they put the time back... I bet someone "convinced" them. 

lol - we should "convince" them more then to fix the whole LDL; turn the suck meter down.  The colors have grown on me...but the whole design still bugs me.

You know, I'm glad that the clock is back...but it's like they just threw it on there.  "Yeah, we have some space here...let's throw it there."   Put the time/temp next to each other again controlled by the IS so it's always on the screen (and not stuck on Pacific Time) and let the thing rotate through other area locations with their information down below and stop wasting space!!!!!!
