Darrol Larrok 1140797 Posted October 29, 2010 at 03:38 AM Posted October 29, 2010 at 03:38 AM I was attempting to land in Halifax with ASX and I suddenly noticed that I had a 111 knot crosswind. This, obviously made it impossible to land. What can cause this? How can I prevent it? I never had this happen before, and obviously need to fix it by Saturday. Any suggestions?

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted October 29, 2010 at 03:44 AM Posted October 29, 2010 at 03:44 AM yea i saw it as FSX check your ASX options. see if theres a wind smoothing option, or a surface wind limit, AS6 has it, not sure about X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrol Larrok 1140797 Posted October 29, 2010 at 03:47 AM Author Posted October 29, 2010 at 03:47 AM I have wind shift stabilization enabled, but not wind smoothing since that would limit the wind direction to the departure wind, which wouldn't make much sense.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted October 29, 2010 at 03:50 AM Posted October 29, 2010 at 03:50 AM look at the maximum surface winds. thats the one youll want to play with. just to be sure, does it happen all the time or every now and then? this couldve been ASX just simulating severe wind shear or microburst (if ASX can do that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrol Larrok 1140797 Posted October 29, 2010 at 04:04 AM Author Posted October 29, 2010 at 04:04 AM Just this once. My max surface wind is 100, so hopefully it's just a one time bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted October 29, 2010 at 04:08 AM Posted October 29, 2010 at 04:08 AM couldve just been bad wind shear then. if you want to prevent it from going that high again tho, limiting the surface winds and wind shear will help most aircraft wont takeoff/land in anything above 40kts, some a lot less, so limiting the surface winds around that value wont hurt anything, but itll give you the added [Mod - Happy Thoughts]urance that you wont get a gust above that on your approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrol Larrok 1140797 Posted October 29, 2010 at 04:12 AM Author Posted October 29, 2010 at 04:12 AM I think I'll leave it as is, and if it happens again, go around and hold while refreshing the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Hill 1103956 Posted October 29, 2010 at 04:25 PM Posted October 29, 2010 at 04:25 PM FSUIPC will smooth out your wind gust and winds. The freeware version is OK, but the payware version is alot better and you can do more with your flight sim with it. http://secure.simmarket.com/pete-dowson-fsuipc4.phtml -FSX http://secure.simmarket.com/pete-dowson-fsuipc3.phtml -FS2004 Josh Hill Denver ARTCC | C1 | Mentor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
