G'guys i'm having an issue with opus which is affecting my VNAV.

 

I've done about three flights now (With opus) and every time so far on descent my VNAV gets knocked out about 2-3 times when the weather updates. I'm using GRIB data with sim friendly wind targets and the wind stabilisation, I also have the weather to update every 5 minutes or 50km. This is the only problem i'm having with this great product and to fix this would make it perfect, 

 

thanks, Mitch.

Hi Mitch

 

Try turning off your fsx turbuence and thermal setting which can cause large variations.

 

You are updating the weather quite frequently at 5 minutes since the METARs don't change that often.

 

Try enabling Adjust Options Automatically, just set your Destination ICAO and Max Cruise Altitude. If your system has wind shifts enable the Adjust Sim Friendly Options, if your system has severe wind shifts then enable the Use Maximum Stabilisation option too. You could also try enabling the Cloud Smoothing option.

 

Try the new beta 2.94.1 which wil be released today.

Thank's for the quick response! I'll give those options a go, and tell you result's.

I also knocked back my update time from 5 minutes to 30 with weather smoothing on. Noticed an improvement in stability. As Cheryl mentioned the METARS themselves don't update very often outside of the every 50-60 minutes unless there is significant weather changing. I've seen METARS update 2-3 times within a 20 minute peiod with pretty extreme variating weather.

 

30 should be a good spot. 20-25 would be best for someone wanting to make sure they have the latest information but also enough time to enjoy and fly through the weather without it changing.
