Fixed in master and release/2.4.0. For some reason that code did got get upstream when I opened up the system for local weather. Must have been broken since September 2010!? Thanks for the quick attention! It's quite possible that it's broken for a while - there are not so many glider

It's quite possible that it's broken for a while - there are not so many glider enthusiasts around, I usually prefer to rely on thermals when I have time to do some soaring, and the last time I distinctly remember having used ridge lift is before September 2010... Good we caught it before the

Hmmm - just notices you are setting wind-from-down-fps in your local weather. This is a bad idea as it is a computed value wind-from-down-fps = thermal-lift-fps + ridge-lift-fps + local-weather-lift That's how it was hardcoded in the old weather system and what I forgot to

var setLift = func (lift) { setprop(/environment/local-weather-lift,lift); } Please change it on GIT and I'll change it for my next version - however I'd suggest to name the property /environment/local-weather-lift-fps for consistency. Done in master and release/2.4.0. Please

I personally have never tested the generic protocol over a serial port on windows. I'm not sure I have tested any IO over a serial port on windows since the very early days of the project back when we were building with cygwin. I do recall at the time being (this is maybe 10 years ago at least?)
