Surface winds

Featured Replies

Any help would be appreciated. When I load up FS9 using Active Sky the surface winds are usually showing between 35 and 50 knots (viewing with Shift-z), sometimes even toppling a light single engine airplane. These numbers arent even close to what the metar report for the location shows. I have tried reinstalling Active Sky and that does not cure the problem. I have not had this problem before, it just came up today. I have not made any changes. It occurs with both default and add on aircraft.Any ideas?

I will give that a try. Thank you for your prompt reply!

Tried all that and still no luck. Any other ideas. Thank you.

Yes,This sounds like some pre-loaded weather either via wx configurator, saved fs flight, actual METAR conditions, etc..Which weather do you have loaded? If looking for real-time wx please make sure to enable "Online" mode. Thanks!
