October 31, 200322 yr Hi guys,Just now I experienced something really weird. I was on climb out in the PMDG NG for a flight from ESSA to LFPG. Approx FL300, M0.781. I had a headwind of 210@40 approx. My own heading was 225.Weather provided by ActiveSky wxRE 1.91. I was just looking at the AS main screen wondering why I still had ESSA METAR station providing wx data but I was closer to ESKN station when suddenly I got an FMC message stating CHECK MCP ALT. I checked my current ALT and to my surprise it showed FL570!!! Speed had increased to 438 KIAS and my headwind had turned into a tailwind of 000@25!!! I paused the sim and saw that in that moment AS had changed METAR station from ESSA to ESKN. I also did change one setting in AS but that was earlier. I enabled the option "Use FS2004 wx writes"Ok, that's that for my observations during this little event. Also see attached pictures.I have posted this in the PMDG beta mail list as well as herehttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/46205.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/46207.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/46209.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/46212.jpgCheers, Mats JohanssonPMDG Flight Test Dept | Asus Z270-A | Intel i5-7600K @ 4.8 GHz OC/H2O | nVidia Geforce GTX 1070 8GB OC/O2|
October 31, 200322 yr Extream wind shifts are due to the different manner in which FS04 and wxRE exchange wins data!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support
October 31, 200322 yr Author Thanks Jim,But this still doesn't explain the sudden transistion from FL300 to FL570. What could be inducing that?Cheers, Mats JohanssonPMDG Flight Test Dept | Asus Z270-A | Intel i5-7600K @ 4.8 GHz OC/H2O | nVidia Geforce GTX 1070 8GB OC/O2|
November 1, 200322 yr Jim; Are you telling us that extreme wind shifts (some of which result in stalls or loss of control) are just a fact of life with ActiveSky and FS9? So we should revel in the realism of actual winds...except during those times when the winds shift massively and unrealistically and cause us to fall out of the virtual sky? Is there a way to have AS update the clouds only and leave the winds alone?RegardsBob>Extream wind shifts are due to the different manner in which>FS04 and wxRE exchange wins data!>>Hope this helps,>Jim>ActiveSky Support Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
