You equip the bagpipe as a weapon and select a song. Each song will summon a snowy gust of wind from another direction, which you can ride if you are at a sufficient height. You need to follow the quest to the end to get the functional bagpipe or cheat it via console command: Player->Additem "detd_bagpipe_wind" 1
How do you select a song ? If it's from a list when you equip the bagpipe then there is a problem with current git openmw version (april 2nd here). I don't see any script error in the console though...
When you equip the bagpipe it should present you with a menu, if you only grabbed the bagpipe from the orc that won't work. You need to complete the quest or cheat the correct bagpipe. If this still doesn't work for some reason, you can put it on the ground and take it again.
This mod is so fun. Highly recommended. I'm currently playing a Reachman Clever-Man and it's so appropriate to just call down the winds of the old gods for power. Also, great bagpipe music.
I do have a question, though - how do I

lead the blizzard away from Old Ebonheart? I haven't been able to figure it out.
ive not done the quest yet but ive used the command to spawn it in, is it possible for a version that doesn't have the blizzard effect? i do like that effect but it would be nice for screenshots and whatnot if it would be possible to play the pipes without the blizzard effect
I welcome anyone who wants to port it to MWSE. The mod is primarily written in mwscript however the wind riding doesn't seem to work properly for vanilla. Troubleshooting this would be time consuming.
The missing icon is fixed now, thanks. There is another issue I found, the weapon is floating above my hand in first person https://imgur.com/a/3wQ4qNT
The bagpipe is forcing you into third person. Unless you edited the script you shouldn't be able to view the first person perspective. I suppose it's possible to do this when you take the bagpipe from the orc but I still can't replicate your image.
At the end of the quest your bagpipe will be upgraded. I'd just finish the quest and then you can enjoy the bagpipe properly. I'll probably force third person mode on the orc bagpipe in the future.
I uploaded V1.1 with the missing icon. You must use the omwscript for the orc to wear the bagpipe, go inside a house and outside and the orc will hold it.
