GenericRadar v0.6.3

Automatic low-elevation radar tracking now follows new live sweeps as they arrive, including in-progress supplemental scans, while preserving the real radial sweep animation.

  • Enable Auto tilt beside the elevation controls; right-click it or open Settings → Data to configure live following.
  • Set the maximum followed elevation independently of the minimum interval between followed sweeps. Defaults: 1.4° and 30 seconds.
  • Adjust live-feed polling separately without changing the sweep-following cadence.
  • Incoming low-level scans are revealed over the previous complete radar image, including supplemental sweeps within the same volume.
  • Reflectivity and velocity continue using their correct surveillance and Doppler acquisition legs.
  • Manual tilt selection, archived files, and playback remain under the operator’s control.
