Default wind direction has a BIG error that wind is +-90deg out!

I was playing in the FMB the other day and wind direction has a BIG error that wind is +90deg out!

i.e. one would assume that in the FMB that “0” wind angle would be North and -180 or 180 would be South and that 90 is east and -90 is west,

BUT if you set wind direction as “90” (90deg) wind comes from the south pushing you north (+90deg error), if you set wind at -90 (270deg) it come from the north pushing you south (+90deg error), if you set the wind to180 or -180 (180deg) it comes from the east pushing you west (-90deg error) & if you set it to 0 (0deg) it comes from the west pushing you east (-90deg error)

Ergo wind is either +90deg out for east/west or -90deg out for north/south even with the latest 1.00.14101 patch! (have just tested)
