Crazy unrealistic winds in london

[AdamCallow]

The winds at EGTC are 65 kts In real life they are 7kts

This has been fixed now but it was weird.

Wait for the metar to update

I think there is an error in the weather station

As all other stations around it are 6-10 mph

[BluePanda900]

Still there?

[AdamCallow]

No, someone must of noticed and changed it

[BluePanda900]

Awwww too bad. 😔 Bring them back Devs!!

The METAR is taken from a real life weather source. It wasn’t a bug and no one fixed it they METAR just updated. The METAR changes depending on different airports you fly to so there was probably a lot of wind near the location of your aircraft.

umm check @AdamCallow post which shows the Metar readings around the UK… def a bug…but with Metar rather than IF!

I live not far from LHR and confirm it was a beautiful day yesterday with light winds, perfect day for flying!

[AdamCallow]

When I say fixed I meant that someone who works at the weather station worked out that there was not 70mph winds outside.

You should check the winds aloft too

[David_Lockwood]

iF takes WX (at the moment) from local ground metar rather than taking into account aloft winds or the jet stream. Maybe when global comes out it will change?
