        I have tried without logging in, with Chrome and with Safari... same result.
        But with Firefox it works !

                What a wonderful app. I nearly became a meteorologist in the Australian Navy. Always interested in the weather. Now I fly the MS Flight Simulator and your app helps with flying in real-time. I haven't seen a weather app as good as this anywhere on the internet. It is my No.1 go-to app for weather. Great job, Windy. Cheers from Sydney, Australia.

                    It would be nice to be presented reasons for using the 3D mode over the 2D. Instantly the 3D mode felt less useful to me, but it could be because the lack of feature parity.

                    From this thread I would say the biggest usage would be to properly see the poles.

                    On another note the "Rain, thunder" layer does not update when "playing" the weather prediction, but this is probably expected. I don't imagine many users will want to use 3D mode except for some specific cases. I would suggest the team to not focus hard on this feature.

                      @lf94 Hello, the layer "Rain,Thunder" does update when the time slider is played.

                        Yeah, this is a great addition and gives an enhanced view on the atmospheric dynamics in play.

                          @lf94 I haven't seen people post this yet - 3D mode is a great educational tool to show how global systems work. It gives a totally different perspective on how non-biological systems work at a planetary level!

                            @korina Nice !

                            One thing: 3D mode is unusable for me with particule animations - it is much too slow / janky.

                            I have a ~3y old mack book pro & Chrome 91 & wind animation set to "normal".

                            It's ok with particule animations off.

                            Would it possible to auto-disable particule animation when the FPS drops below a reasonable value ?

                              Guys, I really don't care what you do: you were the only team that provided an accurate and reliable weather forecast for Iceland when I worked there as a drone pilot and I know you will bring up some good stuff! Being a drone pilot is quite challenging there. I made fairly many recommendations at the time, telling the owners of the company (since Windy was my discovery) they were supposed to pay for your brilliance - I guess they still didn't do it, but It's their shame. I'm still using the free version for my private sh##t not making any money out of it (I just got employed again as something else), but if I should ever use your service commercially, you will get a really significant donation proportional to my incomes. Thank you for everything!

                                  Excellent work! Any plans to allow a continuous, slow spin of the globe?

                                  The sky is the daily bread of the eyes...

                                    @vicb Hi, that is strange, my Mac is around 5 years old and particles work fine, not glitchy and fairly smooth. Did you try with other browsers too?

                                      @flyingrockdoctor It is still work in progress, so we will consider it.

                                          @korina you are absolutely right - it works much better in Safari 14.1.1. It must be a problem with my version of Chrome. Sorry that I didn't test earlier.

                                          Thanks
