Hello, I don't really know where to post this, as I have no idea of where it can come from, I hope someone had this issue before and can guide me... The issue I have is with surface winds: let's say I pick up any airport with a pure north-oriented runway, and I setup crazy crosswinds at 90º (by crazy I mean 75kts, this is how far I've come to check this). When I take off from the runway no wind drift happens AT ALL, I mean zero, until I climb and reach 1000ft or so, then a sudden drift does happen according to the wind setting. Then I turn around and prepare the approach for the same runway: the wind keeps affecting the plane all the time, I capture the loc and the AP needs to make a huge correction due to the wind but, as soon as I reach about 1000ft above ground, disengaging AP or not, the wind begins to gradually disappear, resulting in a perfectly aligned airplane to the runway a few hundred feet above ground, as if there was no wind at all. I don't even need to touch the rudder control, as I'm forced to turn into the runway heading as I approach the ground and the wind "effect" ceases (otherwise I'd land in the grass). I thought for a while that it could be some FSX limitation, but then I see videos like this one, where there is a crosswind effect on final, and I bet not at 75kts... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox0ZVavJlD0 I hope someone can point me to the right direction, thank you! Relevant considerations: - I've tried this with many default aircraft, plus addons - It happens in all airports, and in all runway directions - It doesn't matter if I configure the wind with FSX tool or with ASN Relevant addons: - ActiveSky Next - Accufeel - PMDG 737NGX - ORBX Global + Vector + OpenLC Europe

I am looking for basically three things to run as addons with my FSX installation: Realistic Terrain (mountains, valleys, rivers, streets, buildings, etc.) Realistic weather (clouds, skies, sun, day/night, weather,etc.) Realistic crew (flight attendant custom announcements) I've seen ORBX but not sure which one to get...seems to be too many options... just need one that will handle all the terrain. I've seen REX but also Active SKy - which performs better (san francisco fog appearance) I've seen FS Cabin Crew and FSPassengers... are these outdated? are there better ones? -
Hello guys I have a little question. Right know I'm at cruise level and I started playing with the visibility options. I noticed that when i change the maximum surface visibility, the visibility in the sim while in cruise change to that value despite that maximum upper visibility is at 125. It is normal? does this change needs to restart FSX and ASN? Thanks!
