AS6 Aloft Winds

[Guest nat2005]

Hi,I have a problem with the winds aloft - It seems that what is being depicted in FS9 isn't always the same as what the Active aloft report reports for the current station in use.For example, i was cruising yesterday at FL390 and had winds of 330/33 when they should have been, and were, according to the Active aloft report 330/89 - On some flights the reported winds and the actual depicted wind in FS has been so different that i haven't had enough fuel, as i had planned for the strong tailwinds.Sorry for the long post,Any comments welcome,Nat

Hi Nat,Not a long post, you were just describing your problem.First thing to try is going to the FSUIPC screen and clicking on the default settings and weather settings off buttons. Then give a flight a try.You might also want to post your ASv6.ini file and I'll look at your settings.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Hi,No luck im afraid - ASv6 had 025/62 in its report for FL390 but i was only getting 033/41 at FL390, and one thing i noticed is it never seemed to be constant, i mean the wind speed and direction was constantly changing, it never settled.Cheers,Nat

Hi,Try with Use System Time checked On.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Hi,After another flight, no luck im afraid. Another thing i have noticed is that while AS is downloading new weather data the winds move around and slowly start to decrease, untill the new data is written then they return to what they should be.. not sure if it helps.Thanks so far,Nat

[JSkorna 137]

Hi,Did you change that time option?Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

[Guest nat2005]

Hi,Yes i changed the time option.Thanks,Nat

Hi,In FS04 is weather set to User Defined?Another things I just noticed:You connect through a proxy server, but you have Use Proxy Server checked Off, and it should be On. I am not sure if this has anything to do with this.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Hi,Yes after ive set AS up (Flightplan, ASG Auto Submit, open FS, clear all weather via FSUIPC, then refresh AS) FS04 weather is set to User Defined.Regarding the proxy, i used to use one, but have just changed ISP and haven't got round to deleting the old proxy :-shy Thanks,Nat
