Active Sky 2012 or Something Else?

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I have almost all of Carenado's a/c (great). I recently got the C90 King Air to replace my FS9 Aeroworx version. I use Active Sky 2012 for weather.

Today I tried my first flight with the C90(FSX) from KDAB to KCHS. I set the alt to 9000 and climbed out. At 9000 I leveled out and set up auto pilot for the rest of the trip.

It was raining and I decided to climb to 12000 to get better weather. I set the new alt to 12000 and set the autopilot to VS of 600 feet. As soon as I engaged the climb,

the aircraft went into a violent manuever, flipped over and went into a dive. Rather than try to recover, I just quit and tried to find a problem.

 

I use FSUIPC(registered)

I use AS2012 for weather

 

Any ideas here as to what could have caused this? I have had a few weather related problems with weather programs but this was really severe.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Ron Sagel

The dreaded sudden wind shift issue perhaps. Have you tried the wind smoothing feature in FSUIPC, and ticking the suppress turbulence box in FSUIPC?

 

REX essential will be out soon, and promises to be a bit of a revelation in regard to FSX weather.
