Manual wind settings boogered in XP12

Featured Replies

I just reported this unhappy bug to LR.  It is present in both versions 12.01r1 and 12.00

If you set the winds manually with either the GUI or the iOS instructor station, the winds at the surface are dominated by the upper (third) default wind layer.

For example, sitting on the ramp at KALS, I set the three default wind layers like this: at 7589' (50' AGL) winds 280@4, at 15,000 ft MSL winds 280@25, at 25,000 ft MSL winds 280@57.  What I expect from these settings is light winds on the ground, transitioning to a 57-knot westerly flow at flight level.

Lo and behold, as soon as I applied the winds via the instructor station, the aircraft (Hotstart CL650) tipped about 3 degrees into a starboard wing-down list while sitting on the ramp (winds were crossing from the left) with contrails streaming off the winglets to starboard.  An inspection of the winds via the dataref editor showed the winds at the acft to be 280@57 knots!

Further experimentation revealed that the surface winds are being dominated by the third/upper-level wind layer (that layer is the default upper-layer)--adding an additional fourth layer above it did not change the surface winds, nor did changing the winds in the middle (20,000 ft) layer.

I do wonder if any of this is playing into the airmass stability issues I've been having with "real" weather.

Seing something similar, setup exactly like you said and I see 38 knots at runway level. 
Must be a bug unless we're missing something

unhappy bug maybe, but sounds like a joyous recreate.

This to me is exactly the kind of instructions devs need to fix issues, simple easy to follow, quick to check (making testing any fix straightforward) and obviously wrong outcome.

Really looking forward to finally seeing a bulletproof real weather simulation + visualisation in a flight sim. Proper exciting.
