June 1, 201511 yr I just needed to share an experience I had flying into Vegas last night in the 737-600 NGX. It certainly was a first for me! As I entered downwind for 25L, the winds suddenly shifted. I turned final and everything was going smoothly, when all of the sudden I got a windshear warning. I was perplexed because I had never experienced windshear in MSFS or P3D, so I continued my approach. Then, all hell broke lose and the plane started buffeting and sinking. I immediately hit the TOGA click spot and went around. The second time around was much better! I just thought that was pretty cool. I was using ASN, which no doubt aided in the windshear effect, but I also thought the windshear warning/abort alarm in the NGX was pretty sweet.

June 1, 201511 yr Congrats on your windshear escape! The first time I didn't manage to escape and ASN shattered both my B744 and my self-esteem. What happened to AVSIM
June 1, 201511 yr Better than me, Oliver. I was approaching EBBR after a long transatlantic flight, and although I had no windshear warning, the abstract painting of colours on my WX radar should have made me call a missed approach, or better yet divert to my ALT - I didn't, and my 77W had a 1600FPM encounter with the ground. Thankfully, sim crashes don't make the news... See the original topic here.
June 1, 201511 yr It's scary as h***, I had a brutal one in the B77W approaching Mexico City in terrible weather during a flyin with my VA, I barely made it out on the G/A.
