Wind Shifts Qestion in FSX

Featured Replies

Hi,I'm trying to get into FSX seeing that more and more devlopers are moving over to that platform but I keep returning to FS9 due to massive windshifts.I've read all through the HIFI sim forums but all I see is its a programming bug within simconnect which MS never fixed before going out of buisness per se and there is no definite fix. Some say FSUIPC, others say disable this or that but its all speculation.Has or how do all of you fly with planes being pushed side to side violently all the time without having to turn off winds aloft; sort of defeats the purpose of having real weather.Any suggestions appreciated; I'm trying to enjoy FSX but these windshifts are just unbearable and ruin FSX for me.Thanks in advance,SeanI also posted this in the FSX forum just trying to get some info and how most FSX flyers handle this anomaly.

I personaly use the advance weather features in the registered version of FSUIPC's Wind tab. Through all the AS versions and betas, I wind up turning them back on every time. We'll see after Damien releases his new (low level) rework mentioned a few posts down in the forum. I just use what works for me :(
