March 9, 201115 yr If you check your options you will see Direct Weather Control.Thanks. ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
March 10, 201115 yr Author *******, in a different way you address what many have already reported; winds not correct at destination in DWC mode. Thank you for your detailed reporting.MennoMenno,I've never experienced that particular problem. Surface winds are correct 100% of the time for my destination. My only issue, as I already reported is with actual cloud cover/visibility for my destination, thats all.
March 25, 201115 yr Author Hi,In later Builds of ASE we have had to slow down the time in which destination weather changes, whether this option is in use or not. Then on top of that some users believe that the later versions of FSUIPC have slowed down/stopped the transitions even more. Try with the Smooth Cloud weather depiction in ASE and compare your results.Hi Jim,I finally found some time, re-mapped all of my axis assignments and completely removed FSUIPC. Tried landing at calgary which had 2nm visibility, but the visibility graduation started exactly 10 miles before final.I will be doing some more tests with heavy cloud cover and I'll report back. It seems to me that DWC is hard-coded to the destination weather to 10 miles instead of 75!
March 25, 201115 yr Also, make sure this is with B645.B645? BenFound it, also the 646 build. Will give it go! Ben

Next time you do a flight and as soon as you cross into that 80nm area do a manual refresh of the weather and see what happens. Maby you have 2 long of an interval set, maby your weather was updated lets say 110 nm out and it will not be due to update again for anther 15mins, you would be very far into that 80nm zone by then depending on type of ac your flying. And I think that for in order for this force destination feature to work the weather must be updated asap once you cross into this 80nm area for it grab it and force it.
