Big Screen Weather 2 Update Patch for Australian Radars

[Niall]

Hi,

The Big Screen Weather 2 data file has been updated to support changes (and additions) to the collection of Radar/Imagery files provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

After patching this data file (see instructions below) - the following changes will be available :

- Fixed Australian IR and Color IR Radar Loops to show correct latest images
- Fixed overlay legends for All Doppler Wind and Rainfall loops
- Added 4 new Melbourne Rainfall Radar Loops - 6min, 1hr, Since 9am and 24hr.
- Increased # looped frames to 6 (and 7) for all Melbourne Radar Loops
- Added new Bairnsdale (VIC) 128km and 256km IR Radar Loop
- Removed East Sale (VIC) Radars (now no longer in operation)


To patch an existing installed copy of Big Screen Weather v2 - please do the following (while Big Screen Weather 2 is not running) :

1) Extract the file bsw2lu.dat from the attached .zip file (in this message) to your local harddrive.

2) Locate the Weather 2 Program Data directory on your harddrive (available once the original product is installed) -

<vistadrive>:\ProgramData\Big Screen\Weather 2\Data

if Vista is installed on your c: drive - then the path will be :

c:\ProgramData\Big Screen\Weather 2\Data

3) Copy the file bsw2lu.dat over the top of the old file in this directory. (You should be prompted to 'overwrite' this file if you have the correct location).

4) Start Big Screen Weather v2 and you should see the new/enhanced content when you go to the imagery section.

Please let me know if anyone has problems with this new update (or spots anything else which needs to be fixed).

This new data file will be patched into the upcoming update of Big Screen Weather v2 installer (which will also accomodate the updated version of Vista Media Center).

thanks
