What is this/Winds aloft with AS wxRE

Featured Replies

What can cause this? Any wrong settings?Until that now problem. The winds aloft were exactly reflected in my FS2002. A friend flying with me had the same problem.Wind in ActiveSky is correct shown but in the flight simulator is a totally different wind.ww.jpg

Well, the weather was definately there. Not only in the gauges.Tonight in Europe ActiveSky worked fine.We will watch out at the next flight in that region.

It seems that the problem occurs only in a range of 200 up to 300nm from/to origin/destination. May this helps to find out the problem.

Think this had to do with simulated winds aloft! Thanks for help.One more question: Is there no weather station on Hawaii for winds aloft for AS wxRE?

Tried it several times in the last weeks, but I did not get winds from theses stations:ITO,91285,19.72,-155.07,10"Hilo, HI"LIH,91165,21.98,-159.35,36"Lihue, HI"(from WMO.txt)Is it possible to add stations? If you cross the north atlantic you get wind from Iceland and next from Canada.I would like to add a station in Greenland like that:GSF 16504 4231 67.00 50.80 46 440101 500410 SONDRESTROM Put it in the WMO file but updates fail.Thanks.

Thank you, Sir. That helps alot.I added 6 stations in Greenland to my wmo.txt file, because I had none of them. It works fine.Do you have an updated wmo.txt file with all stations? 24 Jul 2003 is the date of my file.Hawaii is still not working but I really don
