October 15, 201213 yr Hey there, I just purchased Opusfsx and love it so far, but just a question about the accuracy of winds aloft. Are they based on real world data? because flying out of LAX to MIA today the wind direction didn't seem to correspond to the aviation weather.gov winds map which is seen here http://aviationweather.gov/adds/winds/ Also, Does it use VATSIM weather? Also, when flying towards the east coast the winds were 90% of the time blowing to the west. Constant headwind. They're supposed to be blowing to the east as they always do. David Zambrano, CFII, CPL, IGI I know there's a lot of money in aviation because I put it there.
October 15, 201213 yr You need to check out the official support forum on simforums, as a lot of the information is there. What I will say from over at simforums is that true winds aloft data will be incorporated, GRIB data... Check it out, the coming next thread... A Andrew Entwistle
October 15, 201213 yr Author Just found the flight 1 forums Thank God this will be incorporated . I love the weather engine but for the time being, I'll have to pack in extra fuel because of the wrong wind data.
