ETA 13:50zBTW, if the wind-thing in FS is saying 260, is the wind coming from, or headed 260? I always thought it was coming from the direction that was stated there, but when I a couple of days ago saw a wind-thingy on the ground, the winds was headed the direction that the WIND-thing said, so I got confused...

[Guest KChapman]

The winds are coming from that direction (260). The windsock on the ground will point in the direction towards which the wind is blowing, so if the winds read 260/15, then the windsock should be pretty straight out and pointing toward 080.On your current track, winds at 260 should be pushing you along somewhat, raising your groundspeed.Hope this helps,Kevin

OK, thanks a lot...

This can be easily reproduced by setting the time fourth and back by one hour.more to followtom 'Gnoopey' kohler

I wonder if anyone has the Time Fix Installed, and maybe that is why it is occuring? Pure Speculation here, and I'm probably wrong.I still cannot reproduce this.Can someone post a for sure instance of an actual flight where this ocuurs.Between which airports, time, aircraft, etc...We didn't seem to have this problem the last two years. why all of a sudden?Joe

[StoneC0ld 5]

I think I have the corrected timezones installed, but I don't have any of the fixes for the wrong time being changed in a timezone crossing.... And I still had a plane-switch icon on a flight analysis screen for no apparent reason unless the fanda dash8's FMS messes with FS's flight planner or something.....

Spectacular light show at altitude.But 35kts crosswind in OVC and 3SM visibility meant for a hairy backcourse landing. Crabbed all the way down to a Cessna (groundspeed) landing in high winds. Got the heartbeat going for a minute.That's why we fly (virtually!).http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/105695.jpg
