wind issue

[newtie 533]

Hi-

I had something happen last night regarding prevailing wind at KLAS (259@7kt, seen both in METAR and AS).

PATC assigned me to 19L. AI ac are also coming from the opposite direction.

Now, is there an order in which wind is read as P3D or PATC open, or...I'm not sure exactly what I'm asking here but it looks like PATC is not getting the correct information at the correct time.

Let me know and I'll try this again when I get home tonight. 

Thanks,

Mark

If you're using AS or another weather engine, P2A tries to get the winds when you connect.  If it seems off, find he file specified in Wx setup and see what the readings are.

It often takes some time for the weather engine to set itself up and if you connect P2A right  after starting the SIM, it might get the weather from a previous SIM session.

Thanks, I'll give that a try tonight.
