I was just doing a flight from Moscow to Novosibirsk and descending to line up with the ILS. However, when I was something less than 30 miles out from the airport, weather was going berserk all around me. Just to give you an idea, I was getting winds of more than 800 knots :-eek . I then cleared all weather data using FSUIPC, but the strange effects persisted in that my aircraft kept flying sideways or even backwards. I then refreshed my weather data in AS2004, but when I did I was back to square one and struggling with winds well beyond the speed of sound.As I said, I am using ActiveSky 2004 and recently installed the freeware Novosibirsk airport scenery by Sergey Andruhov and his team.If anybody ever observed similarly strange wx effects in FS9, I'd be glad to hear your thoughts about what might have gone wrong in my case.Cheers,

Must be those crazy Siberian winds :-lol But seriously I have no idea Dominik... Hopefully someone can helpFseevo Samava Luchsheva! (Best Wishes) http://www.x-plane.org/users/ilyushin/flagsjoined.jpgPROUD RUSSIAN CANADIAN!

About 6 months ago I was flying the C182 in Mexico. I downloaded real weather set to static and took off. I leaned and set the trim up for the fairly high Mexico City altitude before takeoff so I know this was not the problem.I was at about 7,000 feet and the C182 was behaving as if it was at 15,000 feet. After about 20 minutes of flying I decided to check the barometer using the weather station panel rather than just setting via the "B" key and the barometer was set to 19.something; the lowest it would go. That explains the behavior.So I guess that occasionally the weather download values can be wrong.

Recently completed an around the world flight which included that same leg I believe. useing fsmeteo I had no problem.Happy flying:RTH

It was just a one time occurance because after I landed and the next day downloaded weather again for the next leg the pressure was in the normal range.
