That is cause your using FSX Default weather.

Wind shifts are a well-known FSX issue. ActiveSky Evolution is the answer you seek... www.hifisim.com

For weather, yes.

Except Active Sky can have unreliable destination wind direction - 50/50 whether atc (add-on) directs to the correct runway using real-time weather. Rex has always been correct, except during crosswind situations which turn FSX mental anyway.I have both REX and Active Sky and both have issues IMO, but, REX is more reliable.I'd advise doing some in-depth research before laying out your cash as these are not the cheapest add-ons.
