I think that it is just lightning and hail, no radar. Maybe I am wrong. I hope I am!

No radar. Some day perhaps.

I thought it had tops? Shows how much I've read about it thus far... I had big plans on the ocean crossing later today.

Only works in the domestic system for the moment anyway. Doh!

Are we supposed to delete the old FWV once we install FWV+?

No. They use different turbulence modeling and + won't work for ocean crossings. FWV and the new FWV+ will eventually be merged into one app.

It doesn't give you numerical tops values only a colored scale with darker colors being higher tops. I helped beta test it and the only place I've seen a correlating color-to-tops chart was in the email I received from IT. It doesn't appear to be in the app.

The color-to-altitude index is in the Legend in the upper left of the map view. Open the legend and swipe left with one finger and you can browse the index scales for turbulence, cloud tops, hail and lightning.

Ahh, yes, I recall that now. I forgot it was clickable/tapable. Thanks.
