Windy plugin needs wind.directionGround

It seems Windy plugin requires wind.directionGround. It seems I can get this on my system (Garmin GWS, Orca Core) only with derived data, but only if I use DEPRECATED option. Should Windy plugin be updated to something else or is this the only way to get directionGround?

Hi Lure, I am user of the app too, What sources does the data browser in your SK show for that pathes? In my setup (Furuno) I needed the 2nd plugin to calculate the pathes for the windy plugin.

I have the latest derived data plugin and have selected the DEPRECATED wind option in order to receive environment.wind.directionGround but I am not seeing it in DataBrowser and the Windy plugin is complaining also. What am I missing?

Mimicking your derived data seems to have done the trick. Thanks gregy.

🙂 now if windy gave us some "credits" or benefits from being a contibutor (like we get from kpler/marine traffic for sending AIS data) . that would be nice. Windy.com are you listening!

Seems like the plugin is not activly maintained, found a github fork that fixed some issues. Is there a way to select the fork in the appstore?

I think Dirk means windy plugin that is two year old. This is also why I asked if DEPRECATED option in derived data is correct way or something else should be used by windy plugin
