Custom Weather 2024 SU4 - Wind Speed ​​Increases

User Support Hub Weather & Live Weather
1

Hello,

Using MSFS 2024-SU4, to learn how to land in crosswinds, I switched to a custom weather setup to “create” crosswinds.

On the ground or in the air – at a constant or changing altitude.

1/ If I set the wind speed to 0, it stays at 0.

2/ If I set a speed higher than 0 (for example, 5) and close the weather window, the wind speed gradually and constantly increases.

To understand the problem, watch the video:

1/ I set the wind speed to 7 knots and close the window,
2/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 13.61 knots,
3/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 26.45 knots,
4/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 51.45 knots,
5/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 77.17 knots.

Are you experiencing this problem? If so, do you have a solution?

Which unit of measure have you setup when experiencing this issue ?.
If using “Hybrid”:

MSFS 2024 is running on my PC in Hybrid mode. I understand that a conversion modifies the original value.

However, this doesn’t explain:
1/ the exponential increase in wind speed
2/ if the “weather” window is not closed but minimized, the wind speed remains constant.

I think the conversion issue with Hybrid only happens once you close the weather window and open it again, so it seems related.
Could you test with US System & Metrics to check if issue happens or not ?

You’re absolutely right! :clap: :clap: :clap:

I just tried it with the American system in this configuration; when I enter a wind speed of 5, it stays at 5.

I can open the “weather” window as many times as I want, and the speed remains at 5.
All that’s left for me to do is thank you and hope that the developers have some time to fix this problem.
