Windshear?

Featured Replies

How using Active Sky we can make a windshear (for example on short final?) Is it possible?Regards, Dominik

Hi,Thanks for the question!I think you can create a thermal and adjust the strength and direction of the thermal. There is a section in the manual that explains the values of the thermals.txt file.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

Oh, thanks Jim! I will try and describe final result's.Regards, Dominik

It's isn't working Jim...I create metar for ENZV, wind 220 at 5 kt. Next i create a thermal - 100 nearst ENZV. After that i open thermal.txt, and edit:ID = ENZVLat = 37.7089Lon = -122.2254Type = TemperatureSize = 100.0VertComponent = 20Decay = 18BaseAlt = 20UpperAlt = 60I save that, and refresh the weather. There isn't any result... normal approach with wind ~220 at ~ 5 kt. I check manual for AS, but it isn't describe all of the text edit function for thermal. Where I wrong?Regards, Dominik

Hi,From the manual:To manually create a VAS point:1. Position your aircraft over the desired location2. Enter a name for the VAS point in the main interface screen3. Click the

Once again thanks Jim for your help, but could you write the example of thermal (exacly as in thermal.txt, how configure optios to induce windshear)?Regards, Dominik

ID = ENZVLat = 37.7089Lon = -122.2254Type = TemperatureSize = 100.0VertComponent = -200Decay = 18BaseAlt = 20UpperAlt = 600Now, this will generate a downdraft at the above point. AS will still report the normal wind data. Fly through the point between 20 and 600 feet and you should get a drop.Or maybe I have a different idea of wind shear then you!Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/
