Wind Uplink via Active Sky instead of Simbrief

[Balint]

Dear development team,

Having done a couple of long hauls with the A350 I have come across one area where it seems to lack a bit of logic. In real life where pilots uplink the winds either prior the flight or in cruise they won't just get their flight plan's winds but the winds from various sources which are more up to date than the flight plans winds. This becomes quite important where one climbs to altitude higher than what Simbrief thought would be possible, because then all of a sudden there is no more wind data one can uplink anymore. Or at least not one where it will actually be beneficial. I would suggest if possible to maybe implement Active Sky as a source that the user could select instead of Simbrief (as an option for those who have Active Sky). This would then provide winds that are relevant to the Flight Levels the user is flying / expected to fly and the winds would be generally more close to reality.

I would very appreciate if the developers could look into this and see if the option of wind uplinks and wind data generally could be obtained from Active Sky rather than Simbrief.

Kind regards,

Balint

This is a perfect example where the Simbrief uplinked winds have nothing to do with the level I am actually planned to fly... Winds uplinked up to FL300 but my initial FL is 360. That is with all the step climbs inserted as per Simbrief FLT PLN.

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion! I've passed this on to the team 🙂
