However, the ARROW in the WIND Direction “gauge” is confusing.
Wind vanes, and the Gauge in the Control Tower, point to where the wind is coming from, which is the reported WIND, NOT the direction it is blowing, as depicted in the above Diagrams
Is your issue the same as an existing one reported in the weather bug forum ?: Unable to add wind layer + wrong windspeed.
Also check your international settings as commented in previous post.
Have you checked the link I sent in my above post ?. It reports some issues with wind setup/conversion.
If it is the same issue then it has been there before SU11 Beta.
Getting the Units correct does seem to be a repeated error in early MSFS, and there are still areas where these early error have not been corrected.
I believe in the AP PIDS, there is also a units issue, between Degrees and Radians - in different places, the PID values seem to be out by almost exactly 180/Pie
Or more accurately be: the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom.
The wind direction values entered in the manual weather menu are in TRUE headings. The wind direction displayed on FPD, G1000 etc. are/should be in magnetic headings. ATIS is reporting the correct magnetic heading.
In my opinion, it would be more logical if we could enter magnetic wind directions in the manual weather menu. Hopefully they can change that in a future update.
I haven’t tested the flight plan in the sim yet (will do), but last time I checked it was a mess with all kinds of weird units that shouldn’t be there. I stopped using it because of this. It was a mix of altitude in meters, distance in km and airspeed in km/h. This can’t be that hard to fix. As far as I’m concerned, it’s been there since release. I’m using hybrid mode.
