As was said, in the meantime, turn off "Aircraft Damage Due To Stress" in your FSX options menu.Yes it is unrealistic to uncheck this box but that's better than losing your flight.Don't worry things are always improving! :)RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian

I'd bet that FSX has a problem with this "Aircraft Damage Due To Stress" setting. I have little experience with big rigs, but in some of the very best GA add-ons I have there is a recommendation to uncheck this option. My guess is that FSX must have rather simplistic internal computations for what constitutes "aircraft damage" or "stress," while specialized add-on aircrafts model damage on their own. Or am I wrong? (I am no expert). I have this option unchecked whenever I fly a non-default aircraft and haven't had bad consequences from wind shifts so far.

Hi,Has there been any progrss on this? I'm getting these wind shifts. Changing direction every second or so. They seem to be To/From the same direction. Ie : 190 at 25 KT then 030 at 45 KT then back to the first and then it keeps repeating itself. Happens both near airports and in the middle of nowhere.This makes the program useless....ThanksKael

On arrival I have less shifts if I set the weather to the arrival station. If I raise this station to 20 or 30nm it works much better.If specifying a route this could maybe implemented automatically.
