Average and current speed in the instrument WIND SPEED

Post by andrea_iw2ntf »

Good morning to all of you.

The wind instrument, relative to the speed, provided the average speed with the version I installed Cumulus MX 3.18.0 b3190. The hand no longer indicates the instantaneous speed.
Wouldn't it be possible to do for the "WIND SPEED" instrument what has been set up for the "WIND DIRECTION" instrument, that is the pointer for "average" and "current" ???

Good work and thanks!

This is slightly different from that other post, the next release will have a better fix, but for b3190 you can restore the previous functionality by disabling the setting:- Station Settings | Common Options | Advanced Options | Use wind speed for average calculation
