I've tried with numerous aircraft, both jsbsim and yasim...Lockheed1049H, pa22, velocity, and Tu154B to name a few. At first I noticed things not right when flying the Tu154B and just seeing the wind correction needle and ground speeds were not at all what I would expect them to be based off the winds aloft I had set up. I've since kept an eye on "/environment/wind-speed-kt" and "/environment/wind-from-heading-deg" when testing as well. I don't know if those are the best properties to look at, but they seem to be updated and interpolated when things are (at least partially) working. Besides the properties, just observing the incorrect ground speeds and course corrections compared to what is calculated for the winds I input is a give away something is not quite right....as well as nothing happening when I change the parameters in the gui as I mention before. I don't really know what to make of it...but hope solution can be found as I've started to grow tired of real-weather-fetch and would like to be able to set up more realistic (and less annoying) weather conditions, for longer distance cross country trips especially. cheers! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
