p3d v 5.3 no wind smoothing per se..?

hi Guys. for troubleshooting various issues i went back to the built in weather theme "major thunderstorm" to see what is the LM endorsed way the weather should look like

any kind of (theme included) setting/layer that contains wind gust the wind jumps from the lowest value to the highest without any gradation (???)

• shifts+Z info line shows the same, winds speed only takes two values, the min or the max
• the angle of precipitation jumps from one angle to another that looks very unrealistic.
• fsuipc ver 6109, and NoWeatherAtAll=yes 

what gives? which of my setting or cfg file could be screwed up?

ty for any help 🍻
