Strange ASX bug

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?

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

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.

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)

Just this once. My max surface wind is 100, so hopefully it's just a one time bug.

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

I think I'll leave it as is, and if it happens again, go around and hold while refreshing the weather.

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.
