The new radar system (not sure what it's called) looks really nice. The animations and transitions are really smooth compared to SkyTracker/Titan.

I have to say I like these new graphics. They're not as "crammed" as the previous graphics.

As a little trivia, WSI is the one that powers the same satellite LF/emergncy feed computers that theyve had since 1999 :P
I love the maps!  :dance: Hopefully they dont screw up a lot like Vizrt  :whistling:  the only dislike i have is the animations work like they do at certain local stations, such as WTSP :hmm:

The animations are the same since WSI tried to make it a system that was fast and easy to update. They have a ton of templates for animations in it. I would expect that TWC could make much more weather graphics in less time with these features.  This backs up this answer http://www.wsi.com/Collateral/Documents/English-US/tru_vu_max.html

New weekly planner graphics are UGLY. And theres no need to have cities with icons on them - they block half of the important information! Didn't they learn that when they originally launched HD?
