Microburst, Wind shear!

[Drawyah]

Hey guys,

This is something I've never really noticed within FSX before until today! When flying in my livestream today, the aircraft enters a storm surge which causes the aircraft to start violently shaking! Not knowing what exactly I was in, I start to do the completely wrong things, trying to slow the aircraft down and descend. Fortunately for me, I was at high altitude and therefore was able to get through it without too many issues, but that didn't stop my flight crew from getting one small dig at me!

So what do you guys thing about this one, wind shear and microbursts within FSX? I'm using ActiveSky 2016 (which would have taken real world data and created the storm!), the PMDG 737 NGX which would have made the aircraft act like it would, and FSPassengers which doesn't fully understand how weather works, leading to all eyes on me as the culprit for the aircraft shaking out of the sky!

Definitely different to what I normally get...

That's a good example as to why ATC usually route aircraft around severe storms or divert them to an alterate, not direct them through them.

If you use ASN or AS2016 you will have ws\mb in your fsx.

Yeah, I was using AS2016. I think I was a little distracted talking to livestream viewers when the aircraft flew into the microburst! A little confused, I then did the complete opposite to what I should have done! :D

A good example of not being ahead of the plane....
