trends - Winddirection - reversed - realtime wind and gust s

Hello

I am just using cumulus 1.8.9(897) and found probably a bug. If you open Windrichtung the red value in my eyes is the middle value and the middle value is the wind direction!?

Also a small problem in realtime
I already exchanged the labels in my webpage, but it seems, that Windspeed and Wind Gust are swapped!?

btw. I managed it now, that the sw is running parallel with my virtual weather station on PC1 and cumulus on PC2. I use a moxa serial to lan converter with the newest drivers....

This was fixed in build 918.

No, not really. It's because the VP2 doesn't have a 'gust' as such. The gust gauge shows the 3-second speed from the station (and the peak values of that), and the speed gauge shows the average speed (10 minutes by default). So in VP2 terms, it's OK to call the left hand gauge 'speed', but the middle one isn't 'gust', if you want to change the label you should probably call it 'average' or something like that.
