Wind-barbs obviously and dramatically wrong
-
@Suty thank you for acknowledging this bug. But it's more than just a table being moved a little bit, the table seems to have no relationship at all to the arrows at the location. Even if you look several hours and either direction, the arrows have no relationship to the values in the table.
Here's a screenshot showing what I mean

@stevecrye I really hope that this is fixed on short notice. I am currently on a sailing trip, it was planned to do the weather planning with Windy. But the current buggy state of Windy really lets me reconsider.
-
@Ftjwinfs I will discuss it with colleagues, it should be earlier than v47, probably 46.1 or 46.2 in upcoming weeks. Thank you for your patience.
-
@Suty Please. As you can see by my many posts oder the last days, the documented issues are no joke. As a sailor, these bugs make Windy unusable for me. I seriously started looking for other tools.
You write "probably 46.1 or 46.2 in upcoming weeks".
Please fast-track this!These bugs are no "nice-to-have" thing. Fixing these bugs needs to to be re-prioritized as soon as possible in the dev-team at Windy.
Please realize, that currently you deliver plain wrong and misleading wind-data to your users. At least I know now and can act accordingly (= avoiding Windy). But others users, who do not follow this forum, might not have realized this. This is critical.
At least make sure, that the wind-data in the table at the lower part of the screen is consistent and correct. As I documented, currently the wind-data changes drastically for all models, depending on which model I chose.
The really sad thing about all of this is, that Windy worked perfectly fine before.
-
@Suty In case, the bugs cannot be fixed in a matter of a few days:
Can you please let me know, which of the wind-data that Windy shows in the tabular part at the lower part of the screen is valid and which is wrong?
I assume, you could discuss this with colleagues and at least give me some feedback, which wind-data correctly reflects the actual forecast of a certain model which wind-data is corrupt.
Even if fixing the bugs takes Windy some time, this would allow me to use it with more confidence.
Thank you in advance.

@Suty can you at least apply the fix to the website? Right now, Windy is pretty much unusable for us. The arrows around the point location have no relationship at all to any of the values in the table.
You ought to be able to update your back end servers quickly, then take your time with version 47 of the app.
We are frustrated and tired of waiting. We wish that you would focus more on core functionality, instead of cool pretty new features. I personally was totally happy with the features that you had 3 years ago, and 3 years ago, the forecast for at least more accurate!

@Ftjwinfs as a paraglider pilot, I used to rely on Windy for a quick first order of approximation of surface conditions, before diving in deeper with tools like XC skies.
Now I'm not even bothering with Windy. It's useless and unusable currently.

Yes I concur.
Yesterday I reported on this, which has been an issue for some time; commonly the wind barbs lagging behind the data-table by 1-hr …
Today, even WORSE, with discrepancy now 4-hrs !!!_!With trying to run a National Championship Sailing event, Windy could be highly useful, however with present very light & variable conditions beneath a High-pressure ridge, this wind-barbs facility has become a ‘laugh’, unfortunately.
-
@stevecrye @OultonBen @Ftjwinfs We are planning to release v46.1 next week, and I already checked the testing version and it seems to be fixed there.
-
@Suty Thank you for the update.
Does the update only focus on the consistency of wind bards and tabulated data?
Or does the update also fix the current issue, that the tabulated data changes for all models, when I select a different model? For a reference, see my post from July 7th 21:05 above.
Please include this as well, from my perspective this is even more critical than the inconsistency of tabulated data and wind barbs. -
@Ftjwinfs Yes, that fix will be there as well.
-
@Suty Thank you and have a nice weekend.
Eagerly waiting for the update next week...!
-
@Ftjwinfs The colored arrows that cluster around the forecast point bear absolutely no relationship whatsoever to the wind direction arrows that appear in the columns in the table for each hour of the forecast.!
I don't know how much clearer to be. For example, let's say that all of the arrows in the column in the table indicate wind from due south. The arrows that cluster around the forecast point will be any random direction! They also don't have the correct wind speed.
I'm not going to attach a screenshot because your interface on mobile apps does not allow browsing through my local images. And I'm sick of having to take the time to upload an image to Google drive, copy the link, and then paste it in as a link. Your forum is one of the few that don't allow direct posting of images.
I've pretty much given up on you ever fixing this. I was trying to investigate your competition, Windy.app
This is sad because I've been a loyal subscriber to your app for almost 6 years now. I'm not sure what's happened, but clearly you're coding team needs a swift kick in the seat of the pants.
Disgusted,
Steve

@stevecrye Thank you for your view. Although you responded to me, but I'm not part of the Windy team. I'm a paying, frustrated customer as you.
I guess, you meant to address your message to the Windy team?
@Suty what are the plans for releasing the updated version this week? At the moment I still get version 46.0.4 in the browser.
-
@Ftjwinfs 46.1 should be out tomorrow, according to our plans now.
-
@Suty That sounds very good, thank you for the quick response!
-
@Ftjwinfs sorry for directing my anger at the wrong person.
This forum is quite confusing at times.
The fix that they released a few hours ago appears to have fixed the bug with the uncorrelated wind arrows and the wind direction table!
-
@stevecrye No worries!
I also just checked the version 46.1, the tabulated data and the wind barbs seem to be consistent now. Also the data in the table does not change anymore when I change the model.
That looks ok.

The latest update to the Android app does not fix the problem. The arrows clustered around the forecast location bear no relationship to the wind direction arrows in the table. Also, the colors of the wind direction arrows clustered around the forecast location, and the wind speeds on those arrows are completely unrelated to anything in the table.
We are frankly tired of waiting for a fix to this problem. I'm looking at your competitors such as windy.app.
Not a happy customer.
Steve
