All,What, exactly, is the wind arrow telling me? Is this surface wind? Last night, at FL350, I got indicated winds on the EHSI varying from calm to 7 or 8 knots, while a check of the weather overview window showed winds at varying times during my flight at 27 to 42 knots. On final into KPHX, the indicated winds were exactly what ABQ_CTR said they'd be.It's a handy device, to be sure, because it gives good gouge on a crosswind approach, but shouldn't it provide winds where the airplane is? Why didn't I see the 35+ knot crosswinds at FL350?Kurt KalbfleischAmerica West Virtual(Vive la Rolls)

Kurt-the wind arrow is telling you the Current Wind Heading and Speed at the aircraft LOCATION, in 3-Dimensional space. That is, at its' current latitude, longitude and ALTITUDE.If it's not working properly, (which I've never noticed - I think it works fine, to be honest), you should address Rich Harvey, as the information is coming straight from the Fly! SDK usingAPIGetWindSpeed() andAPIGetWindHeading()Cheers,

Lefteris,As always, thanks for the quick, helpful response. I'll do some more "data gathering" and get with Rich. :-)
