Jim - TAT Information & Wind Question

Featured Replies

Jim, I reported about 2 weeks ago that the LDS 767 was having a hard time, for some reason with DWC enabled... It would throw the TAT to +45 @ above 18000 and essentially fall out of the sky. No matter what, as soon as I enable DWC, this problem happens with the LDS. Now, with he PMDG 747, DWC seems to be working fine, with no trouble on the TAT....... so far.Here is the weird thing, the wind in ASX say that at a given waypoint, it's supposed to be 173/44 and it's actualy 214/49 in the game. Why does this happen?Also, on the briefing page, the averages show 218/10, but there is not one value on any of the waypoints that is less than 35? How could there be an average of 10 knots, when the next closest one is 3 times as much?I've tried refreshing, but it doesnt seem to do anything.UPDATE** - Over the DITAL waypoint - FSX wind shows 107/44 - ASX shows 356/43 (this doesn't make sense) Thanks for your help....

Hi,Are you using ASX or ASA, because ASX doesn't contain a DWC option?Virtual Stations On?Enhanced Route Coverage On?Lock to Closest On?Where are you getting the winds read-out from, a panel or the Shift Z data?Averages include the airport winds as well.

I'm using ASA, sorry about thatI'm not sure where Virtual Stations areLock to closest - yesEnhanced Route Coverage - Yeswind Data with Shift Z, matches Panel informationRight now and as of about the last 15 waypoints, it seems like the ASA data is matching the FSX readouts (Shift Z and the PMDG panel information)It seems like the wind data is more accurate in the states, than over Europe, I really don't understand this averages issue. Averages are 219/09 and wind component is -6. This is really going to cause a problem with my fuel calcs flying from Zurich to Kennedy

Hi,In ASA it is the Create Additional Stations option, not Virtual Stations!Because I can't see your Briefing screen, I can't comment on the averages.

FYI: In your previous post you said "virtual" so that's what I was looking for. I looked for Create Additional Stations, and yes it is on.I'm not sure what's going on, when I try to print the log to PDF or to regular paper, it says an unhandled exception has occured and press "quit" to close or something else to return. I reran the same FP through ASA now that I've landed its showing what appear to be more normal winds. Is it possible that we could be getting bad reports from some of the stations?The rest of the trip across, through Boston and into the NY corridor seemed to work well although I still don't understand what happened for the first 20 waypoints or so. It won't let me upload the flight plan, so here it is if you want to copy and paste it into simroutes and see what it looks like on your end.VEBIT T51 LASUN UN176 MOROK UL856 DJL UH10 AMODO UM729 RESMI UL851 LGL UN502 JSY UN160 LIZAD UL739 GAPLI SOMAX 5000N 02000W 5000N 03000W 5000N 04000W 5000N 05000W KOBEV YQX N124B TUSKY PLYMM PLYMM4

Hi,Without running the plan through simroutes, let me remind everyone that the waypoints must be also in the FS database. If they are not, then AS won't know what to do with them. That could be what is happening here.
