lukeharvest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Being someone who strives for realism, as I'm sure the majority of this forum are, I'd like to request a *feature* for FSUIPC, specifically wind smoothing. The current function of limiting the amount of wind changes per second is great for when you are >24000 feet, mainly in cruise; but when you're <24000 it's unrealistic to be restricing the wind, because then you won't experience wind shear, and generally changes in the wind as realistic as you do in the real world. Is it possible for you to create a seperate function (where you have the smooth only when airbourne) to have an altitude box there to select above what altitude to smooth wind, and also possibly have the possibility of turning it off or on altogether. Many thanks, Luke Harvest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headley Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi Luke, One option is to change this setting while decending into approach (i know, not really relistic, but it works). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeharvest Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Yeah that's what I currently do, but as you said it's not too realistic, and rather irritating to say the least :d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydigital Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Does FSX even model windshear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeharvest Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 No, neither FS9 or FSX model it, unless it's accompanied by ActiveSky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydigital Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 So why turn off windsmoothing below FL24 then, FSX makes a mess of the weather no matter what altitude you are at and Peters rendition of variance and turbulence is far better than that supplied by FSX.

lukeharvest Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm using FS9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydigital Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ah that's an important point you failed to make clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
