Dan, also make sure your wind is not set to "external" if you are not connected to external source. Which version are you using?

XCSoar and Wind
Ramy,
I'm running version 6.8.2. I can't find "external" (to turn it off) in the configuration screen on the PC simulator. Next time I get to the airport, I'll see about setting went to NOT external.

I haven't upgraded to 6.8 yet. So how do you tell XCSoar to use external wind instead of calculating it?

So is it always using external wind when available? I sure hope so since I found 302 wind calculation far more accurate and reliable. Also some flight computers nowadays can calculate wind instantaneously and very accurately.
