Simulated Winds aloft problem...

Featured Replies

Hi,I have been using this great program for a few days now and have a small request. As I live in Australia, I tend to do a lot of flying around my country. To that end, the winds aloft bear little resemblence to the real winds. Does, or is it possible if not, to simulate the Trade Winds etc. For example, in Australia, the winds from 10S to 50S generally tend to be westerlies with polar jets at the higher latitudes and subtropical jets at the lower latitudes.In my real life experiences, I have seen the upper winds vary between 230 and 340 degrees. Everytime I have flown with wxRE, the winds are the complete opposite to what I would normally expect???Am I doing something wrong?? Thanks in advance,DannyAdelaide, Australia

Hi Danny...Winds aloft are acurate for the USA ONLY, for every where else they are simulated. Acurate winds aloft for non US locations is currently under developement & should be included in a future release/version.
