@psolk, keep saving for the man cave! 😁

I flew LHR to JFK today and with Storm Eowyn over Ireland winds were over 100kts in Western England around FL260 and consistently 75kts even above FL500 over the Atlantic. Used 12,000Kg more than the outbound.

No problems with AS in P3D fortunately.

The man cave is downstairs and in the garage @Ray Proudfoot 🙂. I'd say I've got that covered.  It's great when all of your tables can be old tires LOL

  The FS rig is up in my office so I might have to turn the whole office into a cockpit 🙂

  • Awesome. One winter night I did KWRI to EGUN in a KC-10. We filed for 350 but initially was held down for a while at 290. We had a load of gas as usual, but noticed we had a ground speed of 700 to 750

    Concorde could take advantage up to a point but the jet stream is around 35,000ft. Concorde would pass through that in a few minutes as it climbs towards FL 550-580. I’m guessing there would still be

  • Your math is a bit off LOL  You would have to be doing 3000mph+ to do it in an hour LOL Shortest I've ever done it with 200 mph tailwinds in real life was 4 hrs 45 minutes but that was to EGLL wh

@psolk, what a pity the pond separates us. I’d be round like a shot to see a setup like that. How on earth do you ever get any work done? 🤣

Just to circle back on this it does appear to be an ASFS bug with how they utilize presets.  

@Ray Proudfoot not sure if we can move this back to the MSFS forum or if you want me to start a new one because I can now confirm that Live Weather and ASFS in Passive mode has no issues with winds over 149kts.  The downside is looking at a cloud coverage map  with Active Mode it matches perfectly with heavy overcast conditions over Halifax whereas Live weather and Passive mode has clear skies.  

So it really is a trade-off of winds over 149kts or limiting the winds but having accurate cloud coverage 😞
