Thanks. The wind at the aircraft's location is still in /environment/wind-from-heading-deg et. al. This does not necessarily match the reported wind in the METAR as it changes with altitude. However, I can't figure out from your screenshot why your hud reports 255@25 as it does not come close to any of the winds in boundary and aloft layers. Being a complete HUD ignorant: how did you manage to make the HUD show wind, anyway? If I cycle through the HUD styles (h-key), there is no such information!?
