Any idea why when I use real world weather (static) in FS9 I always get winds aloft at 000/00 - there's never any wind up there - seems a bit unlikley to me ?

Dave,I think there's an option to include winds aloft in the 'real' FS9 weather (or was it turbulence...). Hope it helps,

You're right, Mats, there is a box that needs to be checked to download upper winds.I recommend ActiveSky over the default weather, much improved. Also, get a registered version of FSUIPC and use it to smooth the wind shifts that MSFS creates.

Thanks guys, I'll have a look next time - any idea where the box to be ticked is ?
