Now that's windy!

[Guest Rockcliffe]

Edit: build 193I just installed the update last night and my first flight in the DC3 near Napoli was going fine until I turned final and noticed I was starting to crab.Boy did I crab. The wind at 600 ft was reading 099 at 99 kts. I turned into the wind and with full throttle was still accelerating backward. The GPS showed a groundspeed of 490 kias in reverse when the plane broke up.I had had not trouble at all with the previous build.Using 3.47 fsuipc (unregistered). Anyone else experiencing this?The metar at LIRI was showing a 14kt wind from the south, btw.BlairCYOW

Hi Blair,Probably a data error. Even though the METAR looked right, if the position of the data is off, even by one place, it throws AS off and winds get to be 99. Please let us know if this continues!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Thanks JimIt does seem to be directly related to LIRI. I've flown a few flights in other areas today -- B.C., Germany-Netherlands -- and seen nothing odd, but descending into LIRI keeps producing the anomalous winds.Tends to mess up the approach when you get a 100 knot crosswind, lol. Just coincidence that the first time I ever experienced this was with the new build, I guess.Blair

WHOWYes goto LIRI or LIRT the wind is crazy, LOL just start with a cessna, you get blown away like a piece of paper. LMAO

[Guest Rockcliffe]

Glad I'm not alone. I finally made some headway into the wind, but not until I'd switched to an F4 Phantom, lol.

Hi GuysJust looked at the metar for LIRT thru Servinfo and IVAPLIRT 262055Z /////KT CAVOK 11/08 Q1019 RMK MON INVIS VAL INVISLIRT Trevico METAR observed at: 26 Apr 20:55 UTC (44 minutes ago)Winds: N/AVisibility: More than 10 kilometersSky conditions: ClearTemperature: 11 degrees Celsius, Dew point: 8 degrees CelsiusAltimeter setting: 1019 hectopascalRemarks Section: MON INVIS VAL INVISThis type of bad report isnt unusual for this wx station.My 2 cents worthCheersTony

The wind was at LIRI again today too when I tested it.One problem I've found is that the strange value seems to follow the aircraft around and can't be cleared even by using the fsuipc 'clear all weather' button.Once you've got it, you carry it with you (assuming your aircraft survives). Even if using 'go to airport' from the menu to go half war around the world, the 'wind' pesists, even after AS refreshes with the new airport's metar.

Hi All,Yes, that //// throws things way off. Wish there was a way to fix thier data.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
