False wind indicator

Something seems to be wrong with the wind direction indicator, see screenshots. Could you please check this, or am I mistaken? 🤷

Looks like the arrow in the location menu is incorrect. All others are correct.

The wind direction indicator is reversed in all aircraft. The setting on the map and the direction arrow on the map correspond to the actual wind direction. I always adjust according to the Avia Weather A.

Or something like that, now I'm slightly confused 😂But I think you're right 👍

The wind arrow always shows the direction the wind is blowing. If the wind arrow is pointing down on the navigation display this means the wind is coming towards you. The number shows the direction the wind is coming from, so if you set 140° the wind is coming from south-east and the correct departure runway would be 10, which would mean you took off with a tailwind and the wind arrow on the ND shows that correctly. The arrow in the location menu is wrong though and the number is incorrect as well.
