ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Relative wind direction stays the same after you perform a turn. For instance, if you keep a bearing of 180 and have a wind direction of 090, after a turn to 270 the direction of the wind should stay the same so you’ll have the wind on your tail. But the relative direction changes as you turn and you’ll continue to have the same wind, and in this case it will come from 180 (south), so you’ll continue to have the same crossed wind as before the turn.

This is unrealistic. I could believe that after some miles the wind could change drection, but inmediately after the turn I should have another relative wind direction. It seems the program wants you to have high crossed winds no matter the bearing you take, and that makes flight planning completely useless.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
