• I noted it too.

Can also confirm the wind direction is wrong (maybe the opposite of what it should be).
Following track, AP had the nose of that plane pointing 30° degrees left with a wind indicator showing a strong right to left component <==

Anyways I checked the WT discord and they’re aware of it

Note the GS, AC Direction and Wind Report.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• As of 17/11/2025 this issue is still present in the PC-12 NGX as seen below. Note the TAS is reading 280kts and the GSPD is reading 275kts, which suggests a head wind of 5kts. However, the indication of the WIND reads a 5kts tailwind.
