Haha... I mainly fly in the USA so having any wind while flying is a novelty.

It's wild but am almost 100% sure the mountains effect the winds in game

I remember seeing videos from alpha testers talking about this. Rather cool.

I purchased software for P3D (realturb) that simulated mountain wave effects. Having this feature straight out of the box is marvellous in this SIM.

Hopefully a fix soon for the winds in the US & other places of the world. I do see turbulence effects near hills and mountains just no wind. Max wind I’ve seen in the USA is 6kts.

I trust you survived the landing in those 60+ winds. 😬

I have not attempted a landing , these winds came up as I was crossing some mountains at around 10k feet, it really was nuts. Going up and down , to the side. Pretty sure in the real world the plane would have ripped apart. Lucky the airport I am heading toward are reporting 5-10 , which is scary enough for landing  🙂
