pressure drop aftre cumulus restart

This has happened to me twice now, but i can't remember if the first was after 1.8.9 upgrade or not.

After restarting Cumulus my pressure dropped from around 1020 hPa to 1005 hPa, yet my station that displays unadjusted pressure stays at about 950 hPa, as I'm at 500m altitude. All other weather underground stations near me show that the 1020 hPa adjusted figure is correct or at least close, so I think I have the sealevel adjustment right.

Restarting Cumulus doesn't fix this, however rebooting my PC does. Does anyone know where its picking up this different offset from?

It could well be this: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#Cumulu ... et_console

The way to tell is to either implemement the work around and see if the problem goes away, or look near the start of the diags files to see what value Cumulus is getting for the offset.

Thanks Steve, I'll give that a shot and see how it goes.
