For some reason I have noticed on a few planes, there seem to be excessive wind affects in FS2004. This happens on the default Kingair 350, and an addon SAAB. The strange thing is that when I am moving (on the ground or in the air), the plane veers toward the source direction of the wind, not away from it. The problem doesn't, however seem to happen on a larger plane, say the MD-80, or B737. I am using FSUIPC (non-registered) as my only addon software. It happens prior to launching Squawkbox. This happens with just a small bit of cross wind, say 8kts, and the plane veers so hard, it is difficult to keep it on the runway. If I remove all wind, the plane taxis straight and narrow.Any suggestions?

The nose of the plane will tend to point into the wind - this is the "weathervane" effect obvious in small aircraft with large vertical stabilizers. the effect is overdone in FS9 with regard to some planes in my opinion as well.Best,sg

Are you talking about while taxiing on the ground, or in the air? (or both?). Somewhere in FSUIPC there is an option to set automatic taxi wind. This basically reduces the wind to 1 knot while taxiing, so the plane is not affected. This option might only be on the payware version of fsuipc. I can't remember offhand.
