Hello all,

 

I was flying from VHHH to CYYZ on ACA016. as i was cruising at FL310 doing Mach .850 (i dont pay for the gas:P) Flying AP, LNAV and VNAV. 

 

I noticed that i have a tailwind of 77 knots which was not directly coming from behind me. because of this the plane started banking left and right heavily. when i cleared all the weather from fsx it went back to normal (no banking). 

 

So the AP overreacts by trying to correct for the winds. can this be a bug with the plane? 

I had the same problem a few days back when on approach to EGLL. the same thing happened. i took manual control of the AC and landed safely. 

 

can anyone shed some light on the banking problem with the winds?

 

any encounters?

 

RGS,

 

 

Steady winds won't cause a problem, only shifting winds. Do you have wind smoothin on? (FSUIPC)

I use REX but the winds werent shifting. 

 

FSUIPC is unregistered so i guess this is not an option?

I have FSUIPC registered so can't say for sure, but I think wind smoothing does come with the unregistered version too. Take a look and let us know how you get on with that if it's there.

I experienced this yesterday for the first time I also have a licence copy of FSUIPC and the wind smoothing option is on I had a tail wind and the plane was trying to over correct.

When I planned for the flight I picked random payload short flight for fuel and I was using AS2012 for weather around 4000 feet it started... at first I thought it was a strong winds too I had strong tail

winds so I had to select a heading hold and straighten the plane out.

 

The only thing I did different for this flight is I Did not takeoff right

away I was sitting on the ground for at least 30 min, I think I seen

a post where if you are sitting on the ground for A while it might affect the performance but I'M not sure.

I am pretty sure this is old news, I have been dealing with this through tech support for a long time now.

 

My personal opinion is if you have got this far into flight simulation then a registered version of fsuipc, correct wind smoothing and a good knowledge of your weather programs functions/settings are essential to find a balance that works for you.

 

I should add the bulk of my work was with FS9, From what I read around here the same goes for FSX.
