Disabling winds in Xsquawkbox

Hi,

Today I flew from Amsterdam to Toronto. I was wondering why I was going 100kt slower then others.

I figured out it were the winds from Xsquawkbox that were making me slow. Is there a way to disable the vatsim winds and activate the Xplane winds when connecting to the network?

 

Thanks in advance

Set the weather refresh interval value in XSB’s preferences to 0.

There are some strong winds over the Atlantic today, so this may be plausible. Maybe your winds were okay? You can always check your winds against Skyvector: LINK to your route

 

Others were faster than me, so that would be weird then. But thanks for the tip.
