nothing is "amiss" in the "WS90 software", whatever you mean by this.
I think you have a wrong understanding of the hardware you are using and
its (assumed) capabilities.
1. Tom's hint will solve your issue in weewx, as the observations you
are asking for are not primary observations but derived observations -
they are calculated from primary observations - either by a console of
by the data logging software (here weewx).
2. The WS90 sensor array portion which reads the values from which wind
chill and heat index etc. can be derived is the T/RH sensor. It reads
the outdoor temperature and air humidity. More the sensor doesn't do.
The console, be it a GW1000/GW1100/GW2000/WN19x0/WH2650, processes the
observations from the sensor array (wind, wind direction, rain rate,
solar and outdoor T/RH) and creates certain derived values like dew point.
What the sensor reads can be found in the sensor specification - the
same is true for the console: its output is defined by the API
definition. If you want to know details, read
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0 chapter 13:
the Ecowitt Gateway API (application programming interface) aka GW1000 API
There you will see that heat index, humidex, feels like, wind chill etc.
are not part of that output.
Weewx has the possibility to calculate these values from the basic
observations => [[calculations]] where you can tell weewx not to expect
these values from the console/driver (= hardware) but to do the
calculations itself ( = software)

So you would end up with something like:
[StdWXCalculate]

[[Calculations]]
...
windchill=software
heatindex=software

I have noticed that my heat index value is constantly lower than
the windchill value.
This value is set to hardware generation so assume something is
amiss inside the WS90 software.
What’s the best way to rectify it swap to software generation or
swap the bindings between windchill and heat index?
Thanks for any advice
