October 20, 201213 yr Hi all , I get winds of 80 + knots at altitude , Wind seems to get stronger as I ascend ? I have the latest version of fsuipc , ie; latest flight from gatwick - geneva , was 89 knots @ 32000ft , Any help would be great , Many thanks , Joe Turner . .
October 20, 201213 yr Sure they are in fact so strong. Winds in stratosphere can be incredible. Sometimes you can see 200+ knots in some area. David Chen
November 8, 201213 yr On this WAFC chart you can see some examples (ie at FL350 at the lower left corner) of up to 170knots !!! Learning to fly gliders since 1980Stopped using flightsims for good since early August 2026, after 34 yrs using some really great specimens... If I'm asked to name the preferred one, after all these years, MSFS 2024 is my answer without hesitation.(No desktop :-// after the last one crashed for good, so no simming, but I keep polling AVSIM - my main ludic activities spot since around 2006...)
November 8, 201213 yr Commercial Member With the storms blowing thru Scandanavia the past week Im surprised they are that slow. But at FL320 thats about normal. Once you get to 340 and above they cant pick up violently. The jetstream has no mercy. Regards, Dave Opper HiFi Support Manager
February 3, 201313 yr Commercial Member I did a flight last week sometime to Eastern Russia and the winds above FL350 peaked at about 158 knots. Not a nice cross/headwind. Regards, Dave Opper HiFi Support Manager
February 4, 201313 yr I had 119 knots over Denmark last night with some moderate turbulence @ FL350. Cheers Jan 9800X3D | Asus ROG Astral 5080 | 64GB G.Skill RipJaws | 1T/2T/4T Samsung 990 PRO | Windows 11 | MSFS
