Sorry, I can't verify what you are reporting. Please refer to this image: http://www.t3r.de/flightpics/fgfs-screen-008.jpg While climbing after takeoff, I saw the wind transition smoothly from 1...@3 to 1...@15 at 4500ft which is exactly interpolated between the values of aloft layer 1 and 2. The properties in the uppler left corner show /envirionment/wind-from-heading-deg /environment/wind-speed-kt /position/altitude-agl-ft
Maybe I'm to blind to see what's wrong?
