satellite and radar layers not working on pc for me too

@Aziztibba @marek-chrapa Thank you for reporting this, it should be already solved. Can you please check that once again?
-
@Suty its fine now thanks for fixing it quick.
-
@Suty Thank you!
the previous bug is solved nicely!
however, i just encountered a new one BUG :( .... :
https://www.windy.com/-Satellite-satellite?satellite,37.927,64.512,3,i:pressure
this link when copy-pasted to the browser removes isolines the satellite image is there ..but the isolines are gone ... it requires all the time to enter many again and look for the switch to make isolines on ...quite time-consuming..
-
@marek-chrapa Hi, satellite and radar layers are set to turn isolines automatically off, so that is the reason for this.
-
@Suty OK - but why is it like this? i understand that for people who prefer this view as default, it is ok (Nice)
.. but I copy on purpose with isolines address in order to avoid time spent to go to submenus all the time - i created a shortcut on the desktop for simplicity to this --> and it always switches isolines always off --- > i would like to have it as copy-paste with isolines so i don't have to always switch to the menu all the time again and again - it is like resetting to default view all the time-i is a bit "annoying" to do it every time ..? Is there any particular reason for this -pot how to overcome this prob;lem?
There is no ad that we have to watch --- so why the satellite image resets the isolines? When im using other views there is no problem with isolines they are there .... it is only Satellite image that makes is like this ...
So I thought this is a BUG?Why particularly for this view( satellite) the isloilens are off and for others, it work? Is there any special purpose for this mechanism on windy com?
Example:
these links work with no problem"
https://www.windy.com/-Menu/menu?sst,47.413,8.569,5,i:pressurehttps://www.windy.com/-Menu/menu?47.413,8.569,5,i:pressure
This has a "problem": Isolines are removed
https://www.windy.com/-Satellite-satellite?satellite,26.037,24.961,3,i:pressureI apologize if im a bit annoying with this - however, this complicates my life (makes extra work manually) - and fro mmy perspective it looks like it is just a small detail that can have both versions possible. Since all other views work perfectly with this "i:presssure " at the end.
Is there any commercial, technological, logical, or functional reason behind it?
Is there any way around it that i could use to habve simply a shortcut on the desktop and have satellites and isobares at the opening? I even tried Python script to simplify it - and it seem to be not an easy task.
Thank you for the response in advance.

@marek-chrapa
I think the isobars are decoupled from the Satellite layer because satellite views are OBSERVATIONS while isobars are FORECASTS.
If I choose to display the isobars predicted for April 24th and if I "force" these isobars onto the Satellite view (today of course) it is those of the 24th that are displayed.
Current Satellite view with isobars 12 days later. That's very bad ! There is no Low over Germany right now.
For the same reason I guess, isobars are not displayed on Radar layer.

@idefix37 Thank you - i was not aware that this is a forecast for the isobares - i thought it is real measured values. So in fact all of it might be kind of "fake a bit " and not represent real measured values in reality of pressure systems and their distributions. - how then they are predicted? Which methods are used to predict isobars- is there any value for sure as real measured reference points that we can trust there in this case?
it was so convincing to me that i took as a measured value.
I can understand that it evolves in time on wind projection map layout several days upfront ..which is not sure ...
but the Satelite image animation is time back and max 1 hour ago (not a week forecast in the future - like for example with animation with isobares predictions - winds or other layouts) - so i thought these values are real and not projections? Does Andy Meteorological service provide real data in this case for the Isobares animation in back time ( at least 1-hour back time rel values) or comparisons of projection to real data? - or this is too much effort and programming (or simply data is not available)?? OR perhaps the projections are so accurate that they don't need to be crosschecked with reality because the fluctuations range are small? -- what is the resolution of pressure systems we see and what is achievable by real measurements in the field space and above oceans - sensors of pressure? Or this is a satellite measurement somehow posible to detemine pressure systems precise maping? (I think i need to read about it more..and educate myself stil more)
thank you in advance for the reply - so it mean we need to treat these isobars lines with a dose of uncertainty?
are there any databases or maps with real values for croscheking in time ?

Although it is true that isobars are not observed data, fully coupled with the satellite views, they have always been an extrapolation of pressure measurements by weather stations networks. In the past, they were plotted by forecasters drawing the contours between observed pressure values displayed on a map.
So it was to some extend an extrapolation, specially over oceans where the density of pressure measurements is very low.
Nowadays like other parameters such as temperature, wind, humidity… the pressure field at ground level is computed by weather models. Then from the pressure values at the grid points of the model, Windy plots the pressure isolines, which are a visualisation of the pressure field. But it is clear that this is smoothing the pressure field.Are the isobars so wrong compared to the actual pressure field. No.
But it is a bit similar if you compare the last radar image with the rain prediction at same time. I’ll let you do the exercise.
For me the main concern is the risk that the user does not check whether the satellite view and the pressure isolines are not synchronised.Does Andy Meteorological service provide real data in this case for the Isobares animation in back time
I don’t understand what you mean. Difficult to answer.

@idefix37 The isolines are always from the ECMWF model. Sometimes I would like the option to overlay other models (set in data layer) to catch the best match. Maybe a switch could be implemented for real time pressure in the quick-menue? Could display 99 for 999mb & 13 for 1013mb to keep the icon slim.
