Ah - was somewhat puzzled that I wasn't able to locate a HUD with a configured wind label :-P
Your screenshot shows, that the HUD displays the correct wind values: 270@1, so this part looks good. Your METAR reports VRB07G18 which is "variable at 7kt with gusts up to 18kts". Our current weather implementation is not very creative about variable winds. They are currently picked as "north at constant 7kts". This should result in /environment/wind-speed-kt=7 and /environment/wind-from-heading-deg=0 (and this is what I observe on my machine when setting your LOWI METAR). Could you please check the entire weather-path when starting fgfs --metar="LOWI 123456Z VRB07G18KT 9999 FEW070 BKN130 18/06 Q1013" 1.) /environment/metar/base-wind-from-north-fps=11.8 /environment/metar/base-wind-from-east-fps=0.0 2.) /environment/config/boundary/entry[0]/wind-from-north-fps=11.8 /environment/config/boundary/entry[0]/wind-from-east-fps=0.0 3.) /environment/config/interpolated/wind-from-north-fps=11.8 /environment/config/interpolated/wind-from-east-fps=0.0 4.) /environment/wind-from-north-fps=11.8 /environment/wind-from-east-fps=0.0 >From step 2. to 4., these values are fed through a low-pass filter and values may vary over time but should approach the numbers above. Please also check that /environment/presets/wind-override=false (or empty) /environment/config/enabled=true /environment/params/metar-updates-environment=true Torsten > Ahoy Torsten, > > thank you for taking your time on this issue and sorry for bothering > you again. ;-) > > The HUD showing those values is a personal modification.
