What wind bug? I went into my weather tab and changed the wind at all altitudes to 0. That seem to take care of it. 

What weather program do you use? If you change the wind settings in P3D, don't the winds return everytime you enter a new weather area?

I'm looking for a way to disable all high altitude winds without having to do it manually everytime I enter a new weather area, and use FSXWX and FSrealWX.

That's weird. I don't remember seeing anything mentioned in the change log for HF1 regarding this.

Maybe I was doing it wrong. Will try again.

I'm not using a weather program at the moment. I am waiting for Hi Fi and REX to come out with their new versions. I just put in generic weather for the moment as I fly around and explore.

Perhaps they just didn't list any change they did in the change log for whatever reason.

A bug in v5...? Imagine my shock 

Edited May 6, 20206 yr by fluffyflops

A wind bug. Some things never change.  For those who remember FSX when it first came out it was almost unflyable because of a wind bug. If it hadn't been for Pete Dawson's fix, I would have quit flying FSX.  

For all you folks that complain about FSUIPC, remember that Pete Dawson was the one who came up with a work around that make FSX flyable.  I haven't forgotten and any time there is an update for FSUIPC I gladly pay for the update.

I spent $32 on FSUIPC6 to fix the winds, but that's no longer a feature. So I guess there's no fix except to fly in non real world weather. FSUIPC is worth the money for autosave though.

From what it sounded like from a beta tester.

Seems they arent having wind issues with REX or Active Sky.

I am not sure if Active Sky has fixed the issue but sounds like it.

They will only have found their own way around so the bug doesn't occur when using Active Sky, but I don't think that eliminates the P3D bug in general.

Edit: He doesn't actually say he doesn't have wind shifts with AS. What he said is that he's using REX and AS as weather engines but can't comment on AS because the update for v5 isn't released yet. He specifically makes clear that his comments are only referring to using REX for weather.

Looks like we arent getting AS today.

Guess we hope for the weekend.

So happy its a free upgrade if you become an early adopter! Thx HiFi, now all I need is some compatible aircraft and I can finally try out the new sim. Better hurry though! I might get an alpha invite first 😮

Great to have a free upgrade to the Beta... then official release for APS4 customers. The fear of a full payware product was still actived in my mind because of the work needed to support v5 TrueSky ("EA-Mode" terminology by HifiSim). The announcement enlighted the limited feature available of TrueSky and the Beta that Lockheed Martin releases (no API nor SDK).

Let's wait one more 24 hours 😉
