    Scaling Winds and/or TWS% optimization not working

    When I go to Weather - Settings and scale 10m wind speed and then run an optimal route it has no effect on the route or the time that the route takes.  Also, if I click on the T% optimization all of the routes are exactly the same.  I did find that if I just adjust the wind speed for a specific model in Weather - Settings that it does change the route, but why aren't the other two options working?  

    I've definitely seen the T% work before, but not now.  I closed Expedition and redid everything.  No change.

    It seems to work as expected here.

    Do you have 'Use per model wind scaling' selected?

    I didn't have that selected when I just changed the scaling of the 10m wind speed.  I assumed that I didn't need to select that if I wanted to apply the scaling to all models.  Now I have it selected and have given scaling to specific models, which does work.  The TWS% optimization doesn't work regardless.  I still get the same result for every wind speed adjustment.

    Sorry, that wasn't quite what I meant.

    If you don't have the per model option selected, it will use the 'Scale 10m wind%' option. It works as expected here.

    The Tws% button to route over a range of tws percentages works as expected too.

    This is all with the currrent release.
