ASX wind shear and FSUIPC wind smoothing

[Gypsy Baron]

I occasionally run FSX with Active Sky X which I purchased primarily because

of the wind shear simulation. Although I don't always load it, I do when I wish

to fly a propliner from a busy airport and experience the wind shear effects.

It occured to me that the relatively new wind smoothing in FSUIPC would most

likely cancel out the ASX wind shear simulation. An undesireable side effect

in my case.

Also, I often notice my IAS display, on say the G1000, appears to be rapidly

'oscillating' on approaches and again I assume this is the wind smoothing

forcing the local wind speed 'back' to the mean and thus affecting the

IAS readout.

Is there a FSUIPC setting that will allow the wind smoothing to have a

lesser effect below a particular altitude or range of wind velocity/bearing

changes? Or can I somehow load a .ini that has the wind smoothing

disabled for those flights where I would expect to experience possible

wind shear? I'd rather not have to pause flight by going to the menu

and making a change while inflight.

Sorry for the delay -- as announced here, I have been on holiday.

Yes, it almost certainly would cancel it. Try using the wind smoothing recently added to ASX instead.

Also, I often notice my IAS display, on say the G1000, appears to be rapidly

'oscillating' on approaches and again I assume this is the wind smoothing

IAS readout.

No, with FSX SP2 (or Acceleration) and the latest FSUIPC4 versions there should be no noticeable oscillation unless you are experiencing some turbulence or other wind effects (all suppressible).
