During the last four or five days, I've experienced major problems getting wind forecast data into SkyDemon. Most of the time SkyDemon says that "Wind forecasts are not available for the complete journey" and does not present any wind data.

I'm pretty sure this is not a client problem because

- Occasionally I do get wind data for a small part of the route, but not the whole route.
- Other server functions like the route cloud storage is working.
- I get the same problem when using different computers/tablets.

I've tried this with SkyDemon 3.2.1.0 on PC and Android devices.

SkyDemon will only obtain wind forecasts for the current sector, as the entire weather infrastructure is not multi-sector-route aware. Nor could it be, really, because it doesn't know how much time you intend to spend at your various stops. So if you were to load your multi-sector route with the first sector activated, then go flying (or otherwise go into offline mode) then switch to the second sector, I would not expect SkyDemon to have downloaded the forecast data for that sector. Even if it did, that forecast data would presumably be out of date by the time you needed it. Does this explain what you're seeing?

It doesn't - I am online the whole time.

But are you saying that if I have a multi-sector route, I shouldn't expect any wind forecasts for other than the first sector unless I set a particular takeoff time for the later sectors? If that is the case, how come I get partial wind information for later sectors?

Anyway, in the past this has happened even with the takeoff time set. But that might be a different issue?

                 BTW: Will the fix make it into 3.3.0?
