Hi
I have experienced this several times now while using ASFS 9019, that whenever the aircraft enters a new wind layer while climbing/descending or a new set of wind data has been downloaded, the wind will always then update in a clockwise rotation.
For example, right now I was climbing, the wind was originally 030/30 and then 330/30 in the wind layer above it. Instead of turning/updating in a 60 degree anti-clockwise rotation, which would be quicker & more logical, it turned in a 300 degree clockwise rotation. so while transitioning it went 040/30, 050/30, 060/30 [...] you get the idea.
I fly quite a lot, and this has happened several times now on completely independent flights both in time and location. This causes quite a few issues in the flight behavior department, as the aircraft might go from an almost full headwind, to a full tailwind, back to a full headwind as the wind turns. The higher the windspeed, the greater the effect. Especially at cruise in a jetstream with 150kts of wind and lower air density (less effective thrust) this can, and has, cause(d) major issues.
