WSV3 Version 5.1

Post by Paul »

*New next-generation raster display engine with privately hosted AWS server backend (we're actually paying for web servers now to supply WSV3 with the finest data in this area)
*New rewritten high-stability fast-loading National Radar layer using new raster engine
--Separate composite options (MRMS-based): Base Reflectivity, Hybrid Scan Reflectivity, Composite Reflectivity
*New long-awaited built-in automatically downloading, loopable GOES-16 CONUS satellite imagery data, using new raster engine
--Band 1 Visible
--Band 4 Near-IR
--Band 8 WV
--Band 10 WV
--Band 14 IR
*New hi-res surface analysis fills layer, using new raster engine
--2m Temp and 2m Dew Pt reimplemented
--Sfc CAPE, muCAPE, and mlCAPE newly added
*Removed precip typing convolution
*Removed entire old heavy 2015 raster engine
*Removed optimization server and data access controls to MySQL server
*Massive improvement to loading speed of GIS engine (and less CPU usage) by caching MD5 hashes based on file size count
*AlphaControls UI update
*Fixed video capture size bugs and improved GUI recording
*Added hint rollover info
*Auto-mending "fault tolerant" precip-type loss feature on NR (government data outage on precip-typing model data no longer makes radar invisible; defaults to regular palette)
*Removed wgrib dependency
*Option for smaller contour lines (better looking)
*Other launch optimizations


Fullscreen switch behavior improved
