One of the core reasons for windy is because of the Sounding plugin which is far superior to the soundings provided by windy. It consistently gets cloudbase and the thermal heights right which the windy thermal layer never does (at least in a way that is useful to me.
Getting rid of this is a disaster for all the paraglider pilots I know around the world. Please either replace your (relatively crap) sounding with the one that Victor created or re-enable to the sounding plugin and ideally please replace your height of thermals with Victor's code which is consistently accurate!
Gutted!
