Hi,With the latest 4.5 vs, AS2004 report(after import of FP) seems to be more consistant with wind/dir/speed displayed on de ND of PMDG 737NG.However there seems to be differences between both of +/- : 0

Hi,Not sure how PMDG reports wind direction, but AS reports true direction, not magnetic as in FS04. Is your aloft predictability set at 100%?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Hi Jim,thanks for response and yes it is set to 100%.Is there some other setting to be looked at ? (AS2004/FSUIPC)Patten

Please post your AS2004.ini and I'll take a look!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Hi,OK your settings look good. Change Wind Drift Rate to zero and what happens. That is a new option even for me so I am not sure what results you will get. Please let us know!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Jim,I had just changed this from 0 to 1 , so what I mentioned was with setting =0. I have to find out if set to 1 will improve something.I'm sceptical about it but I'll give it a try.greets, Patten

No, a value of one will give you a little drift. That's why I suggested zero!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Jim,I installed beta vs 142 and had a flight LFMN-LIML with better results,lets say : differance of < 5kts and < 5

That is within limits!Thanks for your report.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Hi Jim,last time(s), again I had some significant difference between AS2004 report and the indication on my ND (dir and spd).BUT, I think I'm the one to blame (or not?).Because I'm late from work(at dark) and like to watch the clouds,when flying I change the time in FS to day or dusk.So could it be that this is what makes the difference?greets, patten

Hi,In AS are you using system time?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

jim,yes I do.

OK thanks. Then changing the FS clock should not cause things to change.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Hi,How are you noting a difference? Are you considering the difference between magnetic and true? Remember AS text reports are in TRUE. The ND will be magnetic.Check this post for more information:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...mode=full#11254Does this explain things? Let me know if you are indeed experiencing wrong directions on the ND after converting based on the magnetic variations.Thanks!
