Windshear - ELLX

[d.axel]

Hello,

Have any of you, pilots, experienced a windshear while approaching to an airport? I just flew to ELLX and I got a very long and powerful change of airspeed (I had then APPR mode on so the auto-throttel did the job of mantaining the airspeed).

I’m so curios to see how you manage this situations and if is a confirmations from the devs that the windshear is implemented in the game.

Thanks!

Hey @d.axel, as of right now realistic wind shear is not a part of the simulator, but you can vote for it here:

Realistic Windshear

Winshear is the worst thing you can face while flying, which is why pilots tend to avoid it or go around when there is a warning. You can loose allot of air speed while encountering one of these puppy’s. In infinite flight we have WindShear which really is not like the real thing, if ya’ll dont know what windshear is, basically its a change in windspeed, my idea would be that you encounter it than your plane rolls, turns, or shake violently to the right or left depending on the wind derection(s)…

Well, some of it’s effects are present in the game :))

Thank you!

Yeah, some wind changes can happen at low altitudes. Actual wind shear would probably be impossible to manage with just the autothrottle.
