Limit Surface Wind Effect

Featured Replies

I enabled the limit surface wind option in AS2004 and set the upper limit to 1 knot. This results in Radar Contact ATIS reporting winds as calm regardless of the actual wind conditions and gusts are not reported at all.If I enable max surface wind in FSUIPC with the wind limit set to 1 the Radar Contact ATIS reports winds as 0 knots and reports the gust as the difference in Actual Wind Gust and Steady Wind Speed.Setting the max surface wind option in FSUIPC w/AS1 and FS2k2 did not result in the wrong ATIS report - and of course, there was no such feature in AS1 as there is in AS2004.I am cross-posting this in the FSUIPC forum.-michael

They are *not* the same thing.Disregard my post - it is a non-issue.Per discussion with Peter Dowson, there is not yet a way to limit taxi wind in FS2004 as it was in FS2002.-michael

Hi Michael,I've been working on something new to get this to work.. it requires dynamically setting the wind on a station-by-station basis (intelligently) when you officially get on the ground. While it has not been completed nor tested really yet, I think it will work well when done. It may make it in for MR1...Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg
