Not every weather condition should be "manageable" .. Sometimes If you have a weather scenario that is going to result in an unstable approach you bail and go around ..

The wind gusts are fine for me and while everyone looks forward for the weather updates from Asobo and they are needed for cloud type, barometric pressure and overall better accuracy  the particular effect of gusts and windshear appears to be working as intended. At least in my uneducated opinion.

Yes, but this is a "landing challenge".  I would expect one could land.  And my experience is completely different than YouTube recordings.

Your right .. its a landing challenge ...

 

Winds and gusty conditions were nerfed ... then was restored. I would prefer not to see it nerfed again.

I don't know what you think is "right", but what I have is no where near realistic in gusty conditions.  With that said, I am pretty sure from comments I've seen, different people are seeing different things.  I don't know if it's some setting, hardware, FPS issue, etc.  But there seem to be some fairly direct comparisons that vary fomr a barely controllable aircraft to steady crosswinds with steady aircraft in the same setups.  On my end, steady winds are fine, but there is no flying a stable approach in gust/high wind conditions.  I will try to post a video when I can sit down and record one.

While I understand what you're saying about "it's supposed to be a challenge", this isn't even remotely realistic.  I posted scores of 1.5 million plus on every single landing challenge until SU6, so it's not that I'm incapable of flying the approaches.  Now on challenges like Dusseldorf, I can only put the aircraft on the runway in a completely unreaslistic unstable approach.  I have to aim half way down the runway so that when a gust or windshear hits on short final, I'm not dropped to the ground short of the runway. 

Personally, I don't care if people call it "nerfed" or whatever, I want realistic.  And winds that can bank a 747 20 degrees, add or subtract 60 kts almost instantly, or pop a Cessna to a new heading 25 degrees away may be realistic in extreme weather, but complete unrealistic that any aircraft would be flying. 

The ATIS for the particular Dusseldorf landing challenge doesn't even report gusts, it reports winds 230 at 25 kts.

               Maybe some of the wind changes are caused from the seasons changing.  Got the N.& S. Winds kinda battling each other.

                                                                                        Happy Landings,

I wouldn't trust the sim ATIS. Most times it is completely wrong.

It works for me at the moment. I will give you however that at present it is definitely harder to land now than a couple of months ago. Maybe they need to adjust the specific challenge weather parameters. But i would not want them to change the effect of gusts in general. In a landing challenge i expect variable conditions WITH gusts and possible wind shear of varying severity and it is going to be luck of the draw plus stick/rudder and throttle skills .. Good luck with the zendesk ( I would have assumed you put one in already) . And as someone posted already .. The ATIS is borked. in the present version but most people know that already.

Cheers

I have to say I like the wind gusts and shear. Feels more realistic to me and I like the extra layer of competence it now requires when handling the aircraft. 

Looks like they got the overall feeling of gusts a lot better now, but haven't adjusted the weather configuration in all the landing challenges to the new reality...
