Hi

To be able to display wind data, the G5 (as any Nav system like GPS) has to be moving. It won't display anything about wind when the airplane is still.

But that maybe a bug as well.

It takes a little while (15 seconds) before the wind is displayed, you indeed need OAT on, there needs to be a GPS in your aircraft (or at least the sim has to indicate that there's one), the aircraft has to be in the air, and there has to be wind. There's no bug, sorry :)
