I’m currently in flight from EGPH to EDDM with tailwinds of 169 knots! Absolute bonkers! I’m sitting here watching my 777 - 300ER twirl and carry on and I’m thinking is it like this in real life?! The weather in this game is absolutely extreme and crazy sudden. There’s no way an aircraft under these conditions not be over stressed and have a catastrophic failure. I’ve had approaches where the wind changed from one extreme to another in mere 3 seconds and I’m thinking is it really like this? Someone please explain or say.

Niceeeeeeee. Gotta get that butter mate!!!
@Charliealbo nice landing mate. Butter. Your entry into EDDM. I love the A350. I’m the Air France 🇫🇷 ahead of you. At the gate.
Winds don’t mess with flying aircraft, it’s why they fly them into hurricanes. It’s when they’re on the ground that winds can damage airplanes. I’ve seen some crazy stuff with that!

Yep, the jetstream is crazy, currently reaching over 200+ kts south of Greenland! The resulting speed difference of planes flying in different directions is astonishing:

You must be new here, i’ve just landed in frankfurt an hour ago with a 50kt headwind, and earlier this week I saw very turbulent winds pushing 220kts. Someone once said they saw 250kt winds before! 160 is hard but its not that hard. (imo)

Not new I’m just surprised the stresses the plane was experiencing. I’ve also flown in high winds but yet still the aircraft flies smoothly. I can’t really understand why. If someone could explain.
