the system uses the gribb files for that day so they simply cannot "increase the wind" you are infact sailing in waht is live weather for that area for each day or as damn near close as you will get to it.

Hmm - i guess its a simple fact of modern living - we all need instant gratification.  If they put the wind speed up at least we could all start making some headway and get a flavour for what this is all about.
