June 12, 200817 yr Hi,I am using FSX. A couple of days ago, encouraged by my previous FS9 AS experience, I installed ASX and XGraphics. Since then I have noticed a couple of odd things.The first thing is that when airborne, at almost any altitude, I get severe wind share and turbulence throwing me all over the place. I also get severe hikes in air speed of several tens of knots. Causing over speeds and stalls left right and centre. Looking at wind speed and direction it sometimes very rapidly causing the AP to bank and throttle like mad to counter. And sometimes causing the nose to turn and veer several degrees.Next, there I am belting down the runway, just as I reach v2 and pull back on the stick, or just after I have got airborne I suddenly loose all airspeed and either stop, as if I had hit a brick wall, or drop out of the sky like a brick. The latter a guaranteed crash. The former a #### of a surprise.Then, especially noticeable when in light AC or helicopters, when airborne, just at the point of touchdown, just a few feet AGL, I get a sudden and sharp increase in wind speed. This inevitably causes the AC to jump into the air. Landing in the 206 just now I went from about 20kts at 10 or so feet, to 60 knots and shooting up in a fraction of a second.I have ASX set to default weather and it does it. I have also lowered the wind share; turbulence and cloud turbulence to 20% but it still does it.Again, this is only since I installed ASX a couple of days ago.Any ideas gratefully received.
June 13, 200817 yr Hi,Sorry for the problems. Let's look at these one at a time:1. Do you have FSUIPC installed?1A. Please try the wind smoothing option in ASX.2. Could be turbulence from other planes. Turn off all AI Traffic and see what happens.3. Could also be AI turbulence or wind gusts on the ground. What was the reported winds at the airport?Please let us know.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/
June 13, 200817 yr Thanks, I'll do some homework and get back.But just to let you know, I just completed the exact same flight EGSS to EGCC in the F1 ATR without running ASX and I had no problems. This afternoon with ASX running I had problems all over the place.I'm just about to go EGCC to EHAM. I'll load up ASX and see what happens.Ta.
June 14, 200817 yr Well, had an interesting trip last night, EHAM to LTAI in Digital Aviation Fokker 100.My concern was that some odd, atmospherically speaking, are happening when ASX is running.Taking off from EHAM was not bad; the climb to 35k was ok too. When I reached 35k things started happening. Along the route I got some very, very, turbulent weather, with wind shifts from 20/40kts tail to 20/60kts head in less than a second not uncommon throughout the journey. In effect, the wind was darting around all over the place, as if I was in the middle of a tornado. Now the climb and was not bad, but I have had it just the same on previous trips.Three quarters of the way down to LTAI I decided to switch on FSUIPC wind change suppression, limiting changes to 2kts or degrees/second. This did the trick and from then on, though there was still evidence of a lot of wind shift going on (wind speed and direction changes continuously, FSUIPC filtered them down to something flyable.So, my point, should I need FSUIPC to apply any filtering when ASX is so good at reproducing weather, that
June 14, 200817 yr Hi,Try with Wind Shift Stabilization Off.You need to know that it is not ASX causing this, but SimConnect applying the data to FSX. FSUIPC is now adjusting the data after SimConnect so that is why that is working better.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/
June 14, 200817 yr Hi, I'm learning that this is a common thing with ASX. Before I made my post, I was searching for winds aloft problems and didnt get much help. This morning it took me 6 attempts to takeoff from KSEA. Same problems you had. I stalled and crashed or crashed from overstress. Finally, I closed ASX and made it up to altitude. Then I turned on ASX. This is not what I paid for. Also, I don't want to pay another $45 for a reqistered FSUIPC just to fix the winds that ASX can't. Hopefully there is a solution to all of this. The clouds do look better. Floyd
