This sounds like it may be at the bottom of some problems I've been having with weather. I don't use real weather because most of my flying is to test the fdms I'm working on, so I want predictable and consistent weather. What I'm experiencing though, is that on take-off, the wind and visibility settings are frequently incorrect for the altitude I'm at. For example, sometimes instead of getting 3 kts over the runway at start-up it's 6 kts i.e. the next layer up. Then sometimes, even if the ground layer is correct, as I gain altitude after take-off, instead of progressing through the different layers I'll get a jump as it skips a layer or two so I get 6000 ft or 9000 ft settings at < 1000 ft instead of the 3000 ft settings. I can use the weather gui to correct this but I may need to click the 'Apply' button many times before the weather settings change. Then to cap it all, when I then click 'OK' to close the gui, the weather sometimes reverts back to an incorrect setting.
