3 different wind reports

[Gear5]

<p>when i call ATC for “wind check”, he tell me 15 kt,<br /><span style=“color:#e60000”>a few sec later</span>, i call for departure, ATC say 8 kt,<br />after airborn, DED show 12 kt.<br />it looks like a bug?<br />no turbulence, no burst<br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/kZ3F7Ja.jpg” /><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/MR6zI6H.jpg” /><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/3lw95JF.jpg” /><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/oSnmRYW.jpg” /><br /><br />EDIT: fixed by Mav-jp in 4.36, i think.<br /></p>

<p>@Gear5 maybe different winds at different altitude?</p>

[Gear5]

<p>@jayb yes, but i m not sure.<br />altitude do affect wind speed. the higher, the faster.<br />the “wind check” and “ready for departure” called on ground.<br />when reading DED, i try fly as low as possible.<br />since wind check mainly for takoff and landing, so i think these 3 number should be same.</p>

<p>To be checked again in 4.36</p>

[Mav-jp]

<p>Windcheck gives average wind<br /><br />Tower calls for take off or landing gives wind including max gusts </p>

<p>And having slight differences in wind sources in RL is something you experience all the time. It’s all just a snapshot of a constantly changing environment.<br /></p>

[Gear5]

<p>@Mav-jp i think i have turn off gust (shown in pic above)<br />i test several times, “wind check” always report 15kt. always faster than departure call.</p>

[Gear5]

<p>@Snake122 yes, IRL it can’t be precise. but this is sim so the ATC should know the actual number.<br />some programmed random factor? maybe, but the two reports are only a few seconds apart. i turn off burst, test several time, they don’t match.</p>

[Mav-jp]

<p>mhhhh<br /><br /></p>

[SemlerPDX]

<p>If the two calls are using the same maths function for averages, it’s rolling averages that merely changed between those calls… if not, maybe one is more precise? maybe one is float/double and the other is decimal?<br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/Xp4c9wN.gif” /></p>

<p>bug found and fixed<br /><br /></p>

Way to make me feel inadequate, man. After reading your post, I got a migraine, and then burst into tears.</p>
