Yes that is helpful but does not provide the Thermal updraft velocity estimate as http://www.drjack.info/BLIP/INFO/parameters.html#wstar provides.
For more useful data that windy should consider views for for paragliding, hang gliding, etc., reference the info in https://docs.xcskies.com/home/documentation/xc-skies-layers

@Suty Sandy City is listed as CLOSED on https://paraglidingearth.com/?site=7014, however is still listed in windy. Can your team delete it in Windy?
I will request the deletion from ParaglidingEarth.com as well.

Thanks.

@Suty Try this site
http://www.drjack.info/BLIP/INFO/parameters.html#wstar

Reference RASP or xcskies apps.
Very useful for paragliding, hanggliding, etc

@idefix37 yes but still not optimal as it adds extra steps

I want the ability to set weather model alerts when a new update is available.

This eliminates the need to check the latest update time manually.
Moreover, I would like to be alerted when the HRRR or other selected model shows X minimum wind speed in D direction by defining a range in degrees, and to notify me again every Y minutes.
X, Y, and D are variables.

To avoid having to switch view and menus, please add the forecast model update time on all views.
https://www.windy.com/36.684/-121.814/hrrrConus?hrrrConus,36.514,-121.817,10,i:pressure,p:pgspots
add to next to forecast model name

In the mobile, at the top where the "i" shows for info, just write the moldel name and update date, it avoids a lot of extra taps.

Also, add the same update time in the sounding view.

Thanks

@Suty IT actually update automatically, so it all works fine.

@Suty
Hi, will the new site name be automatically updated from the source?
Old name from paraglidingearth.com:

New name from paraglidingearth.com:

Hi Team,

To make Windy app more powerful please consider adding the ability to see https://thermal.kk7.ch/ to identify likely thermal locations from this database, like xctrack app can.
Then the ability, once we define the route in a layer with the thermal info in the background, to export the route to https://xctrack.org/ format for Paragliding use.

Currently, to plan a paragliding route I would need to use
1. https://thermal.kk7.ch/ to find the most likely thermal locations, then create a route with those thermal points as waypoints using the 2. https://flyxc.app/ to create a route to export to the Xctrack app.

This feature will make windy the premier app. to use.

Later on if you can include the flyxc capability to create FAI triangle visualization etc, and its ability to see satellite device locations for retrieval etc. and live wind forecast then all pilots would be using it and it would generate a lot more revenue for your organization.

Thanks.

This location is no longer listed in ParaglidingEarth.com since it is no longer allowed, however is still listed in windy. Please update the Windy database every few months so they are in sync with the latest information from ParaglidingEarth.com

Thanks.

Hi

Add "Updated __m ago" next to each model on the Compare Forecast wind comparison screen.

This info saves a lot of time.

Thx

Where can I find the graphics meanings for what is shown in the attached pic for the clouds, lightning bolt, and 45-degree gray lines?

Thanks!

@Ondřej-Šutera Please change to francof
thanks.

Please add a help tooltip when graphics are shown or a legend that we can c;ick to open that shows all the graphics elements used on the screen that are not self-evident in their meaning like an exclamation mark (!).

Thanks.

For example what do the diagonal dark 45 degrees stripes near Paso Robles mean in the map attached when looking at the thermals view?
Thanks

Hi,
The sounding graph does not say what time the graph is for.
It take more steps now to get the graph.
Each rime i need to select a new time and get the sounding it is tooany steps.
Can you please keep the old way of getting the sounding on the mobile app as it was more intuitive and useful.
Also, make the zoom more user friendly.
I am a paraglider pilot and need the sounding info at low altitudes.

How can I change my username or create an alias?

@marekd

1. How do you install the plug-ins. There is no menu on desktop win 10.
   Same on Android.

2. Also, how do I set a specific model as the default for my profile?

3. On the android app keep the My favorites always enabled until disabled so we do not need to make 2 clicks to display them on the map each time. thanks.

@ivo Where can I find an explanation of the 2 gray lines?
