Local Forecast / Re: Regional Forecast Map - Appeared at 12:48PM 5/18/2020

« Last post by Dylan on January 15, 2025, 03:04:09 PM »

I don't know about any of you still reading this, but I think the maps should return to stay. They could put an extended 2 minute Local on the 8s at :58 that would include all the now/forecast map products and the Hourly Forecast last seen in October 2014. All they'd have to do is truncate the top of the hour segment by 2 minutes and start it at :00 instead of :58 (I never saw the benefit of starting the top of the hour segments 2 minutes early), they wouldn't even have to lose any commercial time for it.

Local Forecast / Re: Question about songs airing on multiple flavors in the 1990s

« Last post by twcclassics on December 27, 2024, 05:38:25 PM »

What cut was used for the M flavor version of "On A Chestnut Horse" by "Fowler and Branca" in the February-June 1994 playlist? When aired as a Tri-State Weather LL flavor, it started from the beginning, but I can't figure out the cut for the M flavor, which was later on in the song (unusual since, I think, most songs started at the same place when aired on more than one flavor).

The "M" flavor starts about a minute into the song. (You'll notice it ends at about the same spot as the "J" flavor.)

It is back! I updated the first post with the new link. It was broken by some changed APIs a few years ago, and I finally decided to update and fix it.

Looks like the i2 emulator has moved to https://intellistar2.app/settings in case if anyone was wondering what had happened to it.

Ok-- here is my story.
So I came across the Weatherscan Project as seen on GitHub here.

I got inspired and decided to remake TWC's old local on the 8s System.

View the simulation here.
Download and Customize it here (GitHub Page)

Let me know if you have any questions

Static icons are available at https://github.com/qconrad/intellistar-emulator/tree/master/assets/icons/conditions. You would have to convert all of these to PNGs if you're using a program that doesn't support vector images..
