@francoisnosten - I noticed this too - crossing 180deg longitude with any sort of measurement (e.g. spot measurement of winds) results in no data.

Just started trying the Beta. I notice you're open to suggestions about color schemes for the various metrics. Here's some of what I've learned about that over the years: There is a real art to doing this well - I've built complex graphics for visual data analytics several times, using different methods. my favorite is a seven-color scale (where you can get away with that little resolution): Low Critical - Magenta, Low Warning - Blue, Nominal - Green, High Warning - Yellow, High Critical - Red, Old /Possibly unreliable data - Gray about 20% off BG color. You can get away with squeezing a few more colors in there, but not too many. One of the issues with this is that although it's relatively "stoplight intuitive", it's tough on colorblind users (nearly 10% of population), esp. since red-green is the most common type, so confusion there can be really dangerous. If you want a tool to help you play with and explore some more complicated schemes to convey different kinds of info and even check for colorblind-safeness, check out http://colorbrewer2.org. (Note that you may want the "diverging" option for many of your color schemes...) I wish there was a way to specify the baseline schemes to modify, but most of what's there is decent as a starting place, if not always the most attractive aesthetically. Hope this helps!

I can not find full screen mode ..
-
@Maris-Kalejs Fullscreen mode is part of your Internet browser
-
@ivo dedicated button would be great
-
@ivo Depends on your browser - there's some slight benefit to putting this in the app...

Using iPad iOS 10.1,
The altitude slider could be moved INSIDE the side tray to allow for easier use.
Unable to attach screenshot ERROR 413 (too large)???
Great program!

On iOS 10.1 using iPhone 6:
The slide out tray does not display. The slide out arrow does not function like it does on the iPad.
Truly a great app - a work of art! Keep up the wonderful work you have done.
Cheers

The right-hand menu is awkward - right now, it collapses, but leaves a tag hanging out over the map that takes considerably more space than just leaving the icon up (especially for things with longer names, like "Temperature". I'm not convinced that having it vanish automatically is good. After using it a bit, I think I preferred the old behavior, where the arrows slid it out of the way until you opened it up again. I love the performance improvements in the new version, but I think in general, the UI changes are a step backwards.

wind accuracy is off today for some reason area is saying 97 95 mph winds and it isn't windy hardly at all right now.

Changed from ECMWF to NEMS and then could not close forecast section or change back to ECMWF

I had to refresh page to get rid of the forecast pane. -
I think is a little bit annoying the fact that the forecast vanishes if you click anywhere (you have to search it again).If it could stay there until you click an x for example would be great. The forecast for your city is probably what many people want when visiting windytv. Also I don't see any airports anymore, where are them?

@Henrique-Barbosa that is the you first enter the website.

Hi, Ivo. The app continues to improve, and the windspeed stays in the increments I choose now. I don't know if 'Enable 3D view' is supposed to give the global view I and another mentioned, but it doesn't appear to do anything when I click it. Besides the global view, the only other feature I find myself missing is the option, when I change times, to 'View actual forecast'. Not too difficult to work around, but it was a handy feature. I like the slider for moving between views, and the ease with which views can be added and removed, among other things. I read the FAQ regarding the 'CAPE' view and I think that'll be interesting when I have a chance to do a little research and better understand the underlying mechanisms of what it's telling me. Your explanation gave me the gist of it and you've piqued my interest. Thanks again, and have an excellent week.

Uploaded new version with a lot of BUGfixes and lot of suggestions included
-
@Henrique-Barbosa Well purpose of WindyTV in MAP. You can always open detail with forecast by clicking on a map.
-
@Bruce-Gaynham Could you reproduce this bug? It is important to reproduce it.
-
Would be nice if the height bar is hidable for all the people out there who don´t left the surface ;)
-
Zoom-out (double click right mouse button) doesn't work. On windytv.com it does.
I tested latest Firefox and Chrome.
