ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: When I increase the throttle, the grass blows in the wrong direction. It blows toward the propeller (opposite the direction of the prop wash) rather than away from it like it ought to.

Coordinates or location: Anywhere, any airport

FREQUENCY OF IS UE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Ever single time with all stock and addon planes.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Choose an aircraft and airport

  2. Load into the sim onto the runway

  3. Drive off into the grass and observe the grass blowing in the reverse direction it ought to.

YOUR SETTINGS

Cannot replicate.

Can you provide a location, aircraft, a video to demonstrate the issue ?

Well that is strange. I tried again the next day and some of the grass behind the prop pulls toward it when I rev-up the throttle but the rest is blowing the correct direction away from it. Perhaps it was an anomaly with the winds the previous day. I enabled the CFD visualization and the air seems to be moving in a manner that makes sense

Moved out from Sim Update 5 Beta | MSFS 2024 since does not seem Beta related and cannot be replicated at this point.

@SPilot95 : if you can replicate and provide a video please provide it so that we can moved back the report to the appropriate category.

I don’t see what’s wrong, airflow is going backward to the aircraft so seems good to me.

Correct. The problem seems to have resolved itself.
