Winds aloft do not update in flight

Featured Replies

What AS6 is showing me, and what is actually occuring in the sim are often times two different things for me.For example, I just updated AS6 and this is what it is showing me for winds aloft:FL030: 310/07 (11.30) FL060: 319/13 (8.30) FL090: 345/18 (5.90)FL120: 053/08 (-1.60) FL180: 346/15 (-16.80) FL240: 320/13 (-29.30)FL300: 344/27 (-45.10) FL340: 353/44 (-52.10) FL390: 000/64 (-56.90)Right now, O am cruising at FL390, and the weather in FS is reading winds 343

Hi,Sorry for the problem. Some suggestions:Turn Force Destination Weather Zone Off.Reset FSUIPC to default settings and weather settings off.Please let us know,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/

Yes, absolutely, I will do that and let you know. Active Sky support ranks #1 in entire FS community, by the way. You're the only addon company that I can honestly say I have NO complaints about. I hope you're all millionaires or close to it because of your commitment to your customers!

Should users then also disable the FSUIPC wind smoothing option in AS6?I have found that if there is no wind smoothing via FSUIPC, AS6 wind shifts become very dramatic at altitude and often will kick off VNAV. Also, barometric pressure shifts without FSUIPC smoothing will also kick off VNAV.As to the reported issue of incorrect winds aloft shown in FS9...this is an intermittent issue I have seen as well as others I fly with using AS6. There does not seem to be a rhyme or reason to it, sometimes the winds make it in to FS9 perfectly, others not. What I can say is that when I have seen incorrect winds in FS9 compared to what AS6 tells me I shoudl have, IF I shut down and re-start AS6, accurate winds immediately appear in FS9. Is it possible this all has to do with flight plan processing in AS6? If I dont process a complete plan, but simply process DEP and DEST /ALTN airports in AS6, I see far fewer discrepancies.Anywho, I digress.Rob.
