Are you aware of “The BOX” phenomenon in AlBQ, at the Balloon Fiesta Park, very close to downtown Albuquerque? It is not unusual in the ALBQ winters, that lower altitudes will go one direction with winds, and the higher altitudes will go the opposite direction. This is real world stuff. I lived in the city for over 10 years, and went to the Fiesta each of those years. Will it work in MSFS? I have no idea, but give it a try. I even flew with the Remax Balloon, during Fiesta one year, something I will never forget, as a bucket list item.

Yeah, Marsh told me about the Balloon Fiesta and the box effect. He’s been on a balloon there too. We’ll see if it works in the sim.
