      The optical flow option for radar and satellite is missing in the setting. Your optical flow does not distinguish between low cloud, mid cloud, and high cloud, which is very disruptive for me when determining TC position.

      On the other hand, I do not use your radar for TC positioning because I know that many of your radar images in less developed countries / failed states and East Asia are displaced, which do not meet my requirements as a perfectionist. Therefore, whether your optical flow on radar is mandatory or not will have no impact on me.

        Hi @cc-cc-6, radar images for which countries do you think are displaced?

          At least the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam, for the current version, obviously to have some of the radar displaced or images seriously diminished in size.

          Last year, the northern part of the South China Sea also displaced to the south or was slightly enlarged a bit (I guess). I don't know whether this was corrected in the current version.

          The Northern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season will soon start. When a strong TC forms a clear eye, then we will find out which radar is displaced when compare to satellite.

          But the most important thing for now is to please add back the option for disabling optical flow so that I can easily distinguish the movement of low, mid, and high clouds in the satellite view. Thanks
