Hello, Very strong wind in LELC

Hello, I leave this report about the wind that was reaching LELC in Muciar, Spain and suddenly at a height of about 3000 feet a wind of more than 130 knots came from one side when the metar only said that there were 6 knotsstrong text
I leave an image at the bottom of the screenshot in the GPS you can clearly see the windsstrong text

Metar

Me too in southern Japan, over 100 knots and the aircraft was almost hovering! I turned off live weather so I could make some headway. First time Iā€™d ever noticed the trees blowing in the wind.

I just had this at Anchorage. (As mentioned in my recent FB post):

  • The never ending approach to Anchorage.
  • SU10b. Live weather was ON. GS ended up at 0 and then -ve. (Check PMS50 in top right)
  • Was fun while it lasted (which was foreverā€¦)
  • Reloaded at Anchorage and weather was back to normal.

It was actually great fun and the waves in the sea looked amazing. I think perhaps we all had this for a while.

Yeah just finished a trip to Geneva ā€¦ thought Iā€™d hit the dreaded ā€˜Active pauseā€™ by accident when I appeared to become stationary at 3000 agl on the approach. Tuned into ATIS ā€¦ turns out I was battling a quartering headwind of 177kts. Pretty harsh in a C310. Since I was flying in VR and with a motion base - it was a pretty da-mn wild ride! :rofl:

Yeah I just had this weird bug flying the F-18 over the east coast of Scotland earlier this evening. The sea was ridiculously high and the plane was flying almost sideways at one point. Iā€™m glad others are reporting it as it was really confusing me.

I had the same problem at Heathrow - 199 knots.

@Jummivana Since this seems to be a global issue, I suggest to change the title to something like: ā€œunrealistic high windspeeds at low altitudeā€ or something similar.

I also experienced really high winds with live weather when flying in north wales earlier this evening. The first thing I noticed when the sim loaded was the grass looking like waves, and trees in the background being blown violently. I would guess the winds were around 100 knots if not higher. Just before loading I noted the wind was supposed to be 4knots at about 248 degrees. Was almost like the wind speed and direction had been swapped! :crazy_face:

Same at KJFK. A >100kt crosswind that came up suddenly at around 1000 ft AGL on the approach (at the runway level it was normal again). Iā€™m on SU9, so this is not a SU10 bug.

Same at LEBB, SU9 this evening:

Changing it to weather clear I still had 20kt of wind stead of the typical 2.

Same thing here about 1445 eastern in KCLE, launched to a gentle wind that progress to over 100 knts cross wind, I love the crabbing, but where was the rest of the Hurricane? ;p

Iā€™d say donā€™t even worry about it. It was obviously a temporary glitch.

Created a bit of fun for a while though for sure.

Same happened to me today while taking off at LIEO via RWY 23. Suddenly about 200 knots head wind, crashed my 737.

Same yesterday with the pmdg 737. I took off just fine, but then the engines started behaving oddly, by spooling down. I also noticed that there were contrails as well, at 500ftā€¦ So temps, must have also been acting up. Turning off live weather fixed this problem for me.
