Yes. Will display on the HSD in either Full Page or Half Page format. Will be located on the left side of the HSD, ie. 270/15. Will also display a wind barb on the HSD indicated where wind is coming from and what speed. See attached example from a flight I had the other day. Winds were a little spicy.... Not modeled yet in DCS though.

Winds from 083 at 47 knots? Don't they teach you in flight school not to fly into the middle of a thunderstorm?

G 135, I really hope that's the ground speed and not the maximum wind gusts in knots...

Sometimes you just have to send it... scud running is always exciting. G 135 is ground speed, yes. Winds were at ~55kts before I decided to take a picture. We got up to 120kts indicated and around 170kts ground. Good times.

I have enough wind symbology in my boxers to figure out any weather situation...better than real life !!!
