Hey Duane,
Whatever happened to the animated wind speed/direction points?
Haven’t seen them for weeks.
They were a very utilitarian feature.

They are working for me until I switch off the animations in the settings menu.

At some time I’ve set the animations to None and the animated wind spurs where gone …
Now I use animations set to High because of the wind spurs, which i like too.

@AZDave do you have it selected in Edit Place?

Yes, it just stopped working one day.

Hi @AZDave,

Have you tried to force refresh by clicking refresh twice via the top-right menu. BTW, you’ll need to update to the latest version to do this.

BTW, what phone and Android version are you using?

Cheers, Duane.

Hi @AZDave, Did the force refresh fix it? Cheers, Duane.

Hi Duane, no, unfortunately it didn’t.
Do you suppose I should uninstall the entire app and then reinstall?
Haven’t done that yet because I didn’t want to lose all my settings, lol!
I HAVE tried forcing stop and clearing the cache but obviously that had no effect either.
The only change to the phone was an auto-update from Verizon but this was happening before that occurred.
Cheers! —Dave

Yes, I think a reinstall is in order. Make sure back up app settings is turned off for Flowx in the Android settings.

You can export/import your places/graphs via the settings before you uninstall.

Cheers, Duane.

Hi Duane,
I did the total reinstall and that still didn’t appear to work, so just for giggles I tried changing modes.
I was using NOAA HRRR so I switched to NOAA GFS (FV3). Doing that successfully restored the wind direction animation.
No idea why it’s not working in the other mode. Cheers!

Ha, ha, @AZDave, This is a good example of communication break down and the difficulties of debugging.

Essentially, you’ve found a bug with HRRR wind streamlines. It’s not that the streamlines are globally broken. It’s just broken for HRRR.

Usually, I would ask for a screenshot and try to replicate your app state and this would highlight the bug. But I tried HRRR streamlines and I don’t get them either.

I’ll look into this and fix it.

Cheers, Duane.
