Can't get wind/direction indication in aircraft until 10000ft?

Featured Replies

I cannot seem to get the wind or direction to indicate in cockpit (737NGX) until reaching 10000ft. The weather seems to be working, it just will not show up. I am sure I am doing something wrong with settings? Also, it drops off on decent when going below 10000ft? Got to be a setting somewhere....any help will be appreciated! Or is this an NGX issue? Thanks........

Do you actually have wind below 10000ft? If FSX is showing wind below 10000 ft (check with Shift-Z), then it's a NGX problem.

Also try with a default plane and see what happens.

Thanks for the quick response. The default 737 gets wind and direction on the ground and ASE works perfectly. But all PMDG 747 and the 737NGX have the problem. Guess that's where it's at....thanks for your help!!
