I am trying to find a breakdown of the realtime.txt data feed, currently I'm trying to re-engineer what is what from other bits of code but thought I would ask if there was a definition somewhere that I have missed?

Steve is there a tag that matches the data in realtime.txt for

47 260 10-minute average wind bearing (degrees)

Yes, it's <#avgbearing> - the one you have for

# avgbearing 7 261 wind bearing

is actually just <#bearing>

Thanks. Need to update the scripts to use the new info.

Most likely have them updated by this weekend.
