September 6, 20196 yr Although I am now unable to test on 11.36 because I decided to jump into 11.40 and am enjoying the new FM features Austin implemented or fine-tunned fact is I noticed something changed regarding that old over-sensitivity to winds on ground and inflight when there is variability / turbulence. I was searching ( as usual ) for gusts at airfields to go make circuits there and I found a few. When loading first the default 737, then the Toolis 319, then the default C90, and so on, I was surprised to find that the aircraft all behaved much more plausibly, taxied ok, were overall pretty much controllable even under strong cross-shifting winds? Anyine else noticed that too ( in 11.40 or 11.36 ) ?

September 7, 20196 yr I haven´t tried many aircraft lately except for the C172 in 11.36r2 and the Baron - and I can handle crosswinds now well in excess of what the operations manuals state. I am not sure what exactly was done (except for the new nosewheel steering implemented for the C172 in 11.36), but yeah, I think our constant effort and pushing on Austin is finally showing some results 😉.

September 7, 20196 yr Author Thx Jan, I had a question about the iXEG 737, but I decided to start another thread for it 🙂 Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

In 11.40 beta Could it be because of this? Quote: New wind PROFILE from wind sock to ground This is from data on wind above ground carefully compiled for wind turbines!!! Har! So while the metar or real weather or other weather setting sets the wind at 10 meters (the wind sock height), the profile from that down to the ground (by definition 0 for the atoms touching the pavement, and a curve in between) follows the wind turbine wind profile model http://austinmeyer.com/secretbeta/
September 7, 20196 yr Author Might well be it - something me and others were long claiming to be implemented... Thx for the suggestion - I didn't think of that one and didn't read it in the beta notes either.

September 7, 20196 yr What about the space between wind sock height and flight levels though? Interpolation? 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days
September 7, 20196 yr Author I guess it does use interpolation between the levels the GRIB file brings, with forecast winds and temps aloft.
