Added

  • Default radar site: right-click a site on the map or in the site list (or use Settings) to load
    it at startup.

  • Favorite sites: star sites in the site list or from the map, reorder them in Settings, and press
    [ / ] to cycle through them.

  • Help menu and window (F1) listing every mouse and keyboard control.
  • In-app update check with a notice when a new version is available, plus "What's new" notes for
    each release.
  • Minimum population slider for town labels.
  • Alert detail cards: click an alert to pin a draggable card joined to it by a leader line. Cards
    show damage-threat and tornado tags, issue and expiry times (local and Zulu) with a live
    countdown, hail and wind, the towns inside the alert, and product IDs, with buttons to center the
    map and copy the details as text. Pin several at once; a card stays open (marked inactive) if
    its alert is cancelled or expires.

Changed

  • Esc no longer quits FirstTilt. It closes the top menu, window, or alert card, like other apps;
    quit with Cmd+Q on macOS, Alt+F4 on Windows, or the window's close button.
  • New FirstTilt app icon and logo.
  • Refreshed top and bottom bars with a consistent icon set and clearer active/hover states.
  • Cleaner site list with search, a favorites section, and default/favorite markers.
  • Mouse-wheel zoom now glides smoothly like trackpad zoom.
  • Town labels no longer flicker while panning; they stay put and slide off the edge of the map.
  • Hovering an alert now highlights its outline with a small label instead of a large fixed card.

Fixed

  • Live radar updates now add new frames to the timeline instead of replacing the latest one.
  • Reflectivity no longer shows range-folding artifacts or a shortened range from the Doppler cut.
  • The site list no longer scrolls visibly when opened.
