Surface Wind & Weather System Issues

Weather Menu There are a couple of problems concerning the way Asobo has approached the calculation of surface winds. I’m not talking about live weather here, the manual weather system is working very odd with regard to winds. Although you can see the wind layer is labelled WIND - ground in the examples below, the wind entered is NOT actually the ground wind. Turns out MSFS uses the wind you punch in as the geostrophic wind (wind above the friction layer) and modifies it to produce a ground wind…

@hobanagerik if you have anything to add then let me know!
