Gauges-Real Time Wind Datadirection not taking shortest path

Post by kees »

Steve,

The winddirection here is currently around N.
It appears that in case the wind changes from lets say 8 degr. to 354 degr., the gauge moves via S, and not
directly from 8 --> 354 via N. The other way (from 354 --> 8 degr.) also goes via S.
(that's on the webpage).

Regards.
Kees.

Yes, I've seen that too. A bit of a nuisance, and I don't know if I can fix it. I certainly can't fix it at the moment, as I haven't got around to reinstalling my Flash development stuff following my computer rebuild. But I'll have a look at it when I find time to do that.

Of course, if there's anyone out there who is good with Flash, maybe they could come up with something better - it was just an experiment really. I'm tempted to do a new one with Silverlight instead of Flash.
