FSiPanel forums

Here is the scenario:

I position the Fenix A320 on RW 24 at EGPH
I turn off live weather, select 'few clouds' and then set a cross wind of 300/23.5. and gust setting of 304/25.8. with a rate of 10 gusts per minute.
I open FSiPanel, which detects, the plane, airport and runway as normal. I set my position as long final, and move the aircraft.
I set the speed, heading and altitude as instructed and place my throttle in the climb detent.
The plane moves to the selected position - but heh look at the attached screenshot - the wind direction is OK, but I am getting crosswinds of 47 to 52 knots.
I did try and attempt to land, although I appreciate that a landing at this windspeed would not be allowed in the real world. As I got below 1000 feet on two occasions, I just lost control of the plane, which could be my punishment for attempting the landing.

Really want to practice cross wind landings - so hope this can be fixed.

Just now tried with the PMDG 737 and had exactly the same experience.

UPDATE: Just tried flying a circuit at EGPH without using FSiPanel - set the same wind and gust conditions - and exactly the same thing happened i.e. the windspeed increased to over 50 knots and I lost control of the aircraft below 1000 feet - so this is presumably a Microsoft/Asobo issue - and nothing to do with FSiPanel.

Maybe SU11 will be the cure???

Hi,

As you said, Asobo is injecting the weather, FSiPanel is just positioning the plane.

We hope that next release will allow third party developers to address the weather directly with a new SDK, until then, you need to select the weather carefully.

Cheers,
