Hello,
Some tests with su2 beta and 9238 :
Winds aloft speed is multiplied by 2 regarding charts and "ambiant value monitor". The direction is good.
For example above LFBO :
In MSFS2024 FL300: 200@110 kts
Ambiant value monitor : 202@57
Charts : 200@55

Hi,

I suspect a units conversion problem. What language setting and what units setting do you use in MSFS2024 options?

Hi Damian,
Exactly. The problem comes from hybrid unit selection. If i select metric there's no problem
Thanks

I've found that there is a bug in MSFS2024 SU2 related to wind speed units. They are reporting as kt when in e.g. French language hybrid units mode but the wind is handled as m/s. You can see this in the default weather setting UI. To account for this, possibly temporary bug, I have added detection of this incorrect units handling of wind speed and automatic conversion to m/s, which will yield correct depiction results in sim (but show winds as half speed in the weather setting UI).

Here is a test build with that fix. Please let me know your results: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/67gy2jxjrxwxt79/AS_FS_Install.exe/file

Thanks!

Hello Damian,

Same problem with 9243. I have an open ticket (34717) with this issue but no yet solved.

FYI, wind speed units bug when using hybrid Unit of Measure has been fixed in Sim Update 5 (even if no mention of it in the release notes). Not sure if it has an impact on the fix that has been implemented last year ?
