Build 985 Wind Gauge

I haven't noticed this before and don't know if it has always behaved like this. When the latest wind speed changes in the Wind section the wind gauge latest speed needle changes to point to that value. But the average value only changes when the gust value changes. Tried animated and not animated, made no difference. Also noticed that although the average and gust values have a decimal' the gauge indicates a value rounded to an integer. I have 'Round Wind Speeds' unchecked in station settings, also checked the ini file, 'RoundWindSpeed=0'.
Example in the screen shot.

Not sure about the updates, but it has always rounded values to the nearest integer.

I don't know why I round the values for the gauge; perhaps the old one required it. I've changed it and it seems to still work OK. The average value changes correctly for me without the gust changing, but that may be some strange consequence of changing it from rounding.

Just installed the latest beta #986 and it is behaving exactly as you mentioned above. :clap:
