How to set default forecast model
-
Hi,
I use windy version 43.0.4 and cannot find a way to set the default forecast model. I can manually set it to any model but it always keeps reverting to ECMWF once I change layers or reopen the app.
Any hints appreciated.

Hello,
The new version 44.0.4 is now available.
In Settings you can choose the layer and model with Use last overlay for next startup.
However if you look at Weather radar or Satellite it comes back to the default model and in some case when using widgets at startup.
BTW the new version 44.0.4 is now available.

This setting requires a subscription account. So that mean I have to pay to set the default model?

This sounds like a bug to me. If I select a default it should respect it and not revert back.
and in some case when using widgets at startup.
In fact I mainly use the widget to start Windy.
I'm a bit unsure if paying for the subscription really solves the issue.
Can someone with a subscription account confirm that seetting “Use last overlay” indeed works when Windy is opened using the widget with the radar screen as startup layer? So the steps are basically: change the default model from ECMWF to e.g. ICON. Close Windy. Open Windy via the widget → default display is the radar screen. Then select e.g. the wind layer and confirm it's still set to ICON rather than ECMWF.

Sorry, I should have seen that you are not Premium user.

I don’t think it does. At least not when i try!
In fact, the MSM model I use from Japan is not even selectable as a default model
For the widget.Additionally, even when using the last overlay settings and not launching through the widget, if resets to ECMWF model.
This is really frustrating as a premium user and is most likely the main reason why I will not renew when the time Comes.
Also,
On another topic, the bottom left 1h3h switch is wrongly designed as far as I am concerned, the period in hours it
Indicates should be the period
Currently selected with an arrow that let you switch the other period, i.e.
From 1 to 3h. The current design is counter intuitive!Best wishes!

Thanks for confirming. That's in line with what I read online.
So currently there seems to be no way to set the default forecast model.
