Weatherstar XL - First 3 Minute Forecast / Moving Travel Map - 12/12/2009

Happy Holidays everyone! I would like to thank everyone throughout the course of this year for all positive comments on my XL project. The current addition of the moving Travel Cities Forecast map (coined in development as the Region-by-Region Forecast) will probably mark the last product to be added to the XL for the year. Also debuting is the Current Conditions on a map, which I believe was probably last seen used in the XL v1 days. I built this around the classic 4000 J flavor lineup to play kindly with Dan Chandler's product narrations. I hope everyone enjoys this, while I tried hard to keep the video quality at its best by using another video capture method.

Nice Travel Forecast map! I bet the beta testers who worked on the XL between 1996-97 were orginaly going to put this feature before when the J flavor was discontinued in 1998.

It would have been interesting to know. However support for a moving map is not builtin to the XL, the transition from region to region is done using AE. Even support for fading isnt even included. I do remember reading something that had to do with the LOT8's campeign back from '96 to limit the amount of LF's to the max of 2 mins, and only run the LF once every 10 minutes. I suppose thats to keep the viewer interested.

They would look great on the v3. Also use the original (1990-1992) 4000 J flavor.

Thats not a problem, do you happen to have a sample of something that i can use for the plots on the Regional Forecast ?

Wow, that would be a real treat! Yes, I do use the weatherscan emulator. I think all you need is the ID which is TWCFan68. I also put my observation location last on the current observations list because that's how Martin said it worked. In your spare time if you wouldn't mind doing that I would love to see it. Thanks for the offer! :)

Thanks for the kind words. If you are interested in the XL showing a LF for you, and you use the weatherscan emulator, I can easily make a video for you!

The icons on this TCF are actually the cities you find on the scrolling TCF on the 4000. I can easily add more, I just find how hillarious it is how the NE is favored greatly with cities when plotted on a map.

Happy Holidays to you, too! :) As kenshin said, you nailed this thing! Congratulations to you and Martin for figuring out this STAR so well. Wow, it's awesome to see the regional map stretched out that far. I really look forward to all your other videos because I just can't get enough of the XL. It brings me back and sparks a lot of good memories. Thank you.
