Windy 3D mode is back!
-
@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!

Hi have just discovered your great weather site
the 3D addition view is the bomb. not work, so I think maybe Windy is falling back to some other rendering method which is unsupported/untested by the team. It's not a big deal to me anyway.

@lf94 Hello, if you have uncommon browser version, then it might be the issue.

Really enjoy the 3d view, great idea and execution. Noted that the south pole didn't have any ISO bars on wind animation.
-
Yes, the 3D presentation is great, keep it around this time, please!

You SHOULD NOT be forcing users to become premium members in order to use the 3D capability...PERIOD!

@korina Hello! My name is Martin and I'm 14 years old. Meteorology is my dream job from early childhood.
I'm new at the Windy, but I'm so excited! Very good (in my opinion best) weather data visualisation website I evere seen. I really the custom color scales and 3D globe is just perfect. I also really like the smooth animations and that is very important for me. In next days I will buy the premium subscribtion! Best wishes!
Kind Regards

Awesome work :) Thank you!!
As for charging for it - I think you guys absolutely deserve to get paid. There's no forcing in providing a good quality service with awesome features and qualities such as smoothness and relative simplicity, listening to the folks who use your stuff, and doing it all sustainably w/o going out of business. Keep at it!
