Agree with what Camacho said 0 wind comes from south and goes to north

For me is the opposite: 0 comes from north and goes to south...

I have tested again...
In this stage the wind direction is set on 315 and that's the result:
Nibali has the wind in his back and in the map you can see that the direction is wind from North-West.
So my theory is correct. Like I said before...

I'm fairly sure the arrow is pointing in the direction the wind is going, which is indeed north west, not where it is coming from. The picture of Nibali in the background supports this but I can't find the right way of explaining how. (to do with the wind entering the wide end of the wind sock)

In real life the wind enters the wind sock through the wide side, this is sure. So in the game must be the same. Other way is surrealist..

Look at the arrow in the bottom left of the window. The wind arrow is pointing towards North-West, so the wind is coming from South-East. |

If I look at this, you are right Froomedog.
Nibali has the wind in his back, the riders are going in south-East direction, so, the wind goes to South-East as well, which indicated that the arrow is indeed pointing at the place where the wind comes from...

I'm going mad with this...
So finally what is the correct way?? The wind that points the wind sock in the rider or the wind pointed by the arrow?
It has no sense...

Follow what I previously said. These values appear to be where the wind is GOING to not where it comes from. Don't ask me why though! |

So, in my case, 315 makes wind to go to North-West? Or wind is coming from North-West?

A way for testing:
Make a stage, flat as a pancake going in one straight line from south to north to the finish. Wind speed @ 65+ (if it's possible to do this..)
Make the wind come from the northeast and test with OPQS best flatriders. Put them in front of the pack @ 85-90 effort and see what way the riders 'bend' (they should hide behind eachother from right to left and make the pack split. Groups behind will do the same)
And in the mean time, make a cool screenshot

Or just press 'o' and get the wind sock... |

I believe you have to follow the trigonometric circle like you posted on the other page. On the screen you've posted, the wind gets the peloton in the back; so it's indeed going on the same direction as the 315º angle points to. The arrow on the corner seems to be pointing from where it comes from; I assume that is a bug, seeing as what matters is where the wind is blowing towards.
Here's an explanation from Svam:

If I want the riders to climb Mt. Ventoux into a headwind, does anyone know what direction I should set the wind to?
The direction of the wind is set by a number between 0 and 359 corresponding to degrees. The 0 value is pointing to the east, 90 to the north, 180 to the west and 270 to the south. It's like in the unit circle.
Concerning the Ventoux, I suppose you climb the most famous side from Bédoin. There are two parts : first one in the forests direction east-north-east until Chalet Reynard where you turn left and begin the second part in the moon landscape. Here the wind becomes important. For the record, Ventoux derives from the french word "venteux" which means "windswept'. This last part is going nort-west. So, the wind has to go south-east, which means a value of 315 (310 will be even more accurate)
Summing up: it takes the same direction as the unit circle and the arrow is wrong

So the real wind direction is the one from the wind sock, not the One from the arrow?
