Strange behavior with FSRealWx

Post by Oracle427 »

While running FSRealWX, I have had very strange events during preflight where the aircraft will be blown backwards into the air with the tiedowns still attached. After the first couple of times this happened, I decided to turn off the weather by clearing all weather in FSRealWx and restarting the flight. The problem still occurred a minute or two into the preflight checklists. The airplane goes airborne with lots of wind noise and nasty low level aerobatics. The AI goes from 0 to 130 KIAS sometimes and swings by 50+ kts from one second to the next.

The Mx guy has been making a fortune off me with all the repairs I have been making! :)

Finally, I ?()^ down FSRealWX and the problem ceased. When you get some capacity to look into these types of compatibility issues with other products, I'd appreciate your assistance.

Thanks!

I have heard of occasional glitchiness with massive wind jumps in FSrealwx. I don't think this can be attributed to the 172 at all as I have used REX and FS Global Real Weather for a few hours without a single issue.

I have never experienced this glitchiness in FSRealWx and I can reproduce it on every flight. If I switch to the A2A Cub, or any other airplane for that matter, I have no problems whatsoever.

Like I said, it can wait for the future. I like this utility as it mimics local Wx conditions very well in my experience.

Been using FSRealWX Lite for some time. No issues here.

Having seen some other posts about FSUIPC integration, I decided to set FSRealWx to only use Simconnect instead of both Simconnect and FSUIPC. This solved the problem for me.
