I'm proposing that this and all WeatherStar related articles be merged into one (excluding Weatherscan). I'm wondering if it's a Intellistar-type system as well, but programmed to TWN's specs.

Nowadays, TWN uses a different system that still looks almost the same as the TWN WS4000 (according to the poster of the thread at the above link). Here's a link to a thread on posted by a a Canadian fellow who shared some screen captures of TWN from 1993, so you can see for yourself: IMO, the Canadian TWN WS4000s use a much better-looking, foundry-quality font (a swiss/ helvetica-looking one) for it's forecast screens, as opposed to the more computerish-looking font used by the American TWC WS4000/Weatherstar Jrs (although that font is also used by the TWN 4000s for severe weather warning scrolls). I'm not sure about Meteomedia, but I'd assume that they used the same, considering that TWN & Meteomedia are both owned by Pelmorex, which TWC here in the USA has a majority stake in, if I'm not mistaken. This would make sense to me, since the WS4000 unit was designed and manufactured for both TWC and TWN by none other than a Canadian company, Amirix, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Weather Network in Canada also used WS4000s, albeit programmed with their own fonts & graphics (of course) and weather data from Environment Canada. Yes, it certainly was, at least the WeatherStar 4000. Please keep in mind that every suggestion can't be implemented, but they are taken into consideration when an update is being worked on.Weatherstars and The Weather Network. The simulator project is open to suggestions on making the program better. This is where to ask questions regarding configuration and setup of the current version of the simulator.Ĭhild Boards: Version 4 Bug Reports, Version 3.1 Tech Support, Version 3.1 Bug Reports, Version 2 Tech Support, Version 1 Tech Support If you have comments about the simulator program or just want to talk about off-topic stuff, here is the place.Ī private forum for supporters/donators to this project Download the public beta version of the simulator here.Ĭhild Boards: Configuration File Repository
