At about 500 feet AGL on an approach, the wind starts shifting very rapidly both in speed and direction. I have the MSFS 2024 weather disabled and am only using ASFS. I've also tried it with both options. This started occurring recently. I've tried different settings including the default settings. I was trying landings on RWY 27 at KIAH with a right crosswind of about 12 kts. This also happens at the other airports I use. I've tried adjusting the "Wind options (and effects)" settings, but nothing seems to help. I don't use FSUIPC. I've owned several different versions of Active Sky all the way back to the FSX days and haven't seen this issue before. Any ideas? Thanks.
Wind shift on final

Hello!
I too am having this issue, although it does not happen all the time.
I do have lots of add on airliners in my collection, and it's not limited to any single one of them, nor any given airport. Completely random. Every one of them I have encountered this sudden rapid wind change/shift on final/short final for airports. Most of the time I'm able to battle it through and land, but once in a while it'll result in a crash - and occasionally the whole sim will crash.
Just like what juancho said, always appears to begin right at 500 AGL.
Here's me landing at KPIT back on February 10th, battling the wind glitch.

SU4 or SU5 Beta??
I assume SU4, since I don't participate in beta updates.
Sure, but the wind was completely consistent from top of descent, down to 500ft AGL, when it started changing rapidly in both speed and direction. In my video, it was consistently about 15-20kt, but then it rapidly changed between 5kt, and 85kt, very consistent with these rapid wind shifts I've had before - even landing at airports with no wind whatsoever on the METAR.
