I wounder have I missed something through all the releases of WDL I have never been able to get the Red arrow to indicate average wind direction, the Red arrow has never moved Hmm.
I have checked meticulously but unable to find why.
try 10.20i
as I have fixed a bug (should be) with the time information from the lightning strike (the problem arose if you had your windows time settings to show am or pm)
John,
This might not have anything to do with your current problem but in your index.html file there is some old code that should be updated to version wdlv3_03.swf

I have niticed something up with my average direction in my WDL setup. My red arrow dosen’t realy show the average wind direction. It shows the last direction, after the arrow has moved, then on the 3rd second of the last update it goes to what the new direction currently is. I dont believe that that is the average direction. I have seen the part on Brian’s site and his shows rather differently to mine. Is there something that I have missed in the setup of everything?
I dont know if this is much of an idea, but would it be possible if not better to calculate the average using the last 30min or last 60min values and deciding the direction of the wind that way. It would probably give a far more acurate readin, even once the wind chagnes it will still move around. probably the hardest gurdle would be when you get reading of 0 and 360 which will average out to 180 (south) instead of North which is where it should be pointing. But I suppose there is a way around it somehow.
WD searches for pm but not p.m. (which must be the way you have your windows regional settings time format set up (unset to include pm or am and it will be fixed)
but I will search for a p.m. or a.m. too
I have noticed that you have put a last 10 min average of the wind direction for WDL, is it possible to do the same for the main screen too. And possibly the text in the custom stuff and thigns that relate to that?
My wind direction vane has been broken for the last three weeks. Fixed it this weekend but now that it works again the average wind direction pointer stays at north eventhough winds are currently SW. I’m using WDL 3.06 and WD 10.21f. my clientraw file can be found at http://www.shermanctweather.com/clientraw.txt
Any ideas what could be wrong?
