Can someone explain my Wind differences?

Hey, i really dont unterstand that. When I go for 20 km/h it should be around 10kt right and not 36(40)?

There is a gradient wind applied in the sim if you just set a surface wind. Wind speed once airborne will be approximately double what you set on the surface. Supposedly done to simulate real life drag that the rough ground exerts on wind.

I’d recommend just setting a 2000ft wind speed and note that the wind on the surface will be approximately half of that.

I also think that the metric to imperial conversions are also bugged in places. I did use to try and use metric but switched back to default imperial units a long time ago so not 100% on what state that is in.

And finally, can’t see from the picture, but if near terrain note that funneling and lee effects are now present in the sim which can accelerate wind further still
