Hi,Can you watch the picture and told me why the wind is at 215 and not between 350v080?Thank youChristian

Hi,Where do you see 215?Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Hi,The wind direction at lsgg is 215 , you didn't see it on the picture? It's clear...no?Thanks Christian

Hi,The wind is variable between 350 and 80. 215 is eaxctly half way between the two. There is nothing wrong here!Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Hi,Thanks Jim, I thought it was on the other side 350

I think you're right Chris!The text METAR says 050 at 10 and I don't think that you'd see the variable wind interval spaced over a full 270 degrees, whereas the 90 degrees as understood by you (and proven by the 050/10!) is the correct interpretation.So - sorry Jim, but I think you're wrong... ;-)Cheers,S

The METAR was 350V80. What does that mean? That the winds were VARIABLE betweem 350 and 80 degrees. Half of that is 215!!How is that wrong??Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Hi,So can you explain that (watch the picture wind direction), it's not like you said...I'm wrong?For me this is right...Christian

>The METAR was 350V80. What does that mean? That the winds>were VARIABLE betweem 350 and 80 degrees. Half of that is>215!!>How is that wrong??>>Thanks,>Jim>No Jim, the METAR reads: "Wind 050 degrees at 10 knots, varying between 350 and 080 degrees..." So the general wind direction was from the NE and not SWThis is from http://www.met.tamu.edu/class/METAR/metar-pg6.html (my highlighting of the word clockwise):Variable wind direction with wind speed greater than 6 knots shall be coded in the format, dndndnVdx dxdx. The variable wind direction group shall immediately follow the wind group. The directional variability shall be coded in a clockwise direction. For example, if the wind is variable from 180 to 240 at 10 knots, it would be coded "21010KT 180V240".Cheers,S

Hi,Correct, and the first is wrong. I got it on the fix list!Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Hi,I'm sorry but the error is always here with the update SP1.you can verify but only when the wind cross 360

I wonder if this glitch about figuring out the opposite direction of the average wind explains much of the instability of wind shifts reported in other threads, or if this is a whole different issue...

Hi,So I'm alone with this problem????Thank youChristian

Hi Christian,Just an FYI it is best to start a new thread instead of jumping on an old one that was presumed closed... sometimes things get missed.Anyhow, I am unable to duplicate this behavior at first look, but we have it on the list for a detailed investigation.If you have an .PLN files with a particular wx date/time that demonstrates this problem, please send to us at [email protected].. it would be much appreciated!Best,
