Radar Question

[Greg Blumberg]

Andrea, if you are looking for radar solutions for the Mac, I'd recommend WeatherScope.

http://climate.ok.gov/software/

It's free and works pretty darn well in overlaying surface data, radar, maps, etc. I'd definitely check it out. I use it off and on, depending on where I am.

AllisonHouse isn't software, it's a data source for those packages. GRLevel3 can be run on a Mac quite easily with several emulator packages.

It's a data source, it's true, but you have to download an installer that doesn't work for mac. By the way, it doesnt' work even if you have an emulator such as "parallels desktop" or any emulator like that. That's the reason why I'm asking if that problem doesn't exist with Allisnohouse.

Thanks Greg, nice software

GRLevelX software can run on Macs that have Parallels installed.

AH doesn't provide any software. They provide the data for the software, and their feed will work with GRLevelX running on a Mac.

You're wrong because it is not possible, I tried and I couldn't do it. By the way it is also specified on the GrlevelX forum.

Here is the message error:

"could not find grlevel.cfg"

Too bad, this means that I can't have it on my Macbook....

By the way it is written on the GrlevelX forum.

That post is from 2004. A lot has changed since then.

From the GRLevelX owner's forum:

"The easiest solution is to use Parallels. The latest version allows for all the features in GR2AE to work perfectly. "

"You can run GR2AE inside VMware Fusion for OSX. Look into that."

"The new version of parallels on mac allows for full integration of the software. In GRLEVEL3 it even supports smoothing. All the features in GRLevel2AE work flawlessly... Great news for us mac users!"

"Parallels 4.0 now supports smoothing with GRlevel3.
I think that is great news for mac owners."

Etc.

Man if this si true it could be fine! Anyway I tried few months ago but I wasn't able to make it working and I read the same error message...However I will try as soon as possible.

I would be happy to hear a comment of a mac user to confirm rdale's opinion.

 

[rdale]

Just to clarify - that's not my "opinion." I don't have a Mac and have never tried.

Those quotes were from 4 Mac users on the GRLevelX forums. You might visit the forums if you're still having problems.

I can confirm 100% that GRLevel 3 and AE both work perfectly (at least for me) using Parallels on an iMac and Macbook Pro.

Thanks a lot Can you tell me wich kind of version dod you buy?

 

[Ian Miller]

Does anyone know if GRLevelx is destined for a Linux release in the future

 

[rdale]

No, Windows only. However some have gotten it to work using an emulator within Linux.

 

[Ian Miller]

ok, thanks for that, i might give it a try..

I'm using Parallels 4.0 with OSX 10.5.8, and with the latest Grlevel 3 and AE updates. All works great together on my end.
