Moisture convergence

Ahh yeah... I've got irons in about 8 fires at the moment (selling house, moving, buying house, creating 2 new products, etc.)...

We can add moisture convergence, if I ever get around to it.

F5 is not going to change in its core functionality. We will continue to just slowly add features and make changes to its existing format... IE, no change to all graphical solution. However, we will eventually be adding a web based product that will be a parallel option, rather than something that drives the way the F5 software works. That product too will have moisture convergence, and probably will have it before the f5 software gets it, because its more difficult to add it to F5, the way it is designed.

Keep an eye out for a really exciting, dare I say revolutionary, new product set to release by the end of the month... and I'll give you a hint... its sole purpose is to pinpoint the forecast of tornadoes.

Question re Windows 7

Well make sure when you right click the icon and go to Properties that in the 'Start In' field says something like:

"C:\Program Files\F5\"

If you have 64 bit it should be something like:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\F5\"

The quote symbols SHOULD be in there as well.

HD NEXRAD Updated

The last couple nights I've been working on the HD NEXRAD product.

It now updates every 5 minutes on the server. The F5 Software still needs to be updated so automated updates accomodate that frequency, but if you manually refresh you should have a new image every 5 minutes.

Also, I did some work on the color scale, and a reported bug from user Tim Brasel.

F5 App?

Well the story behind this is that the developer just disappeared, so the project has been put on hold. However, I have since put it back in motion, but now the intent is to start out with an Android app, and then move on to other platforms.

Obviously the goal is to make it the best weather app available. We will be including a lot of maps, that's the area where we can kind of go above and beyond what others provide since we can generate a countless number of our own maps. So we will incorporate a lot of maps that weather geeks would be interested in... besides the normal radar, satellite, forecasts, current conditions, etc.

So will it work on Blackberry? At this time thats not the priority, so although it may be possible to have a version for Blackberry in the future, its probably going to be a while if at all.

As you know it creates consecutive images. To loop them on a web site, you need to load them into a java animation script...such as the one below:

Hey Shane,

If possible, I'd like to take a look at it on your machine. If you're willing, install a program called TeamViewer from www.teamviewer.com and then send me a private email and I'll log in and take a look at it.

What Happened to the Winter Weather Maps?

You know that's odd... it is included in the installer, it hasn't gone away.

I think I had one other report of this recently as well... the only thing I can suggest at this point is to just reinstall F5. I have no idea why that would disappear. I'll have to look into this further.

Thanks for the note, and let me know if the install doesn't bring it back.

Well nothing is set in stone at this point, that's the purpose of this thread, to try to get your input.

I'm actually thinking lately with the great response I've had with some marketing, that F5 is a success and maybe I shouldn't fix what isn't broken.

I could just improve on the existing platform that F5 exists on, speed it up, add features, etc. and then use the other ideas for new products -- giving users the option to choose what works best for them.

Thanks for the New Year's Eve deal

I appreciate your business, and everyone else who has purchased today... its going over very well... its keeping me hopping!

Once the dust settles from this sale, I'll be back at it to speed up the software a bit, get the radar to update a little faster, fix a couple bugs and then perhaps start adding more features again before spring.

Happy New Year.

Andy
