wind direction

[727 driver]

using fs9 no weather addons just default weather. setting a wind directions as follows ..surface to 5000 feet..080 @5 5000 to 10000 feet 010 @15 10000 to 15000 feet 355@35 15000 to 20000 290 @ 45 the problem here is after the 5000 foot mark the wind stays at 080 @ 5 through 10000 feet ..at 10000 feet instead of the direction changing to 355 degrees it goes to 095 and increases up from there..so instead of 355degrees it goes 095 096 097 all the way up to 135 degrees ..then starts going back down and is not as it is set until it hits and passes the 20000 foot level..i stumbled on this by accident and dont know if its a glitch in the sim a bad file or if im doing something wrong...the flight starts at kord rw 9 and goes to kmht...i would like to hear from someone who knows what might be going on...im stumped..if any of you folks have time could you try this flight with the given parameters and monitor the the wind direction? id love to hear your findings..thank you all in advance

Don't know what might be going on but with your settings I had nearly the same results - but wind never did shift to 290

YES please send your files ill try it on my sim...i never thought about the wind change may need more space to be correct ..good call.. i will try your files if you still have them and will also try what you are suggesting...it does make sence..ill let you know..

OK JUST TRIED  a flight and settings were surface to 6000 feet 080 @5 then @ 20000 feet 360 at 45 once i cleared fl200 wind was set at 275 at 55 but showed 077 at 55..and i could not under any circumstance get the wind direction to 275 so matter what numbers i put in..so it almost sounds like a curupt file..what do you think...[quote]Don't know what might be going on but with your settings I had nearly the same results - but wind never did shift to 290

I tried those settings, guessing at where you made the change to 275

well..i did do what you posted to do..and that did work..i got what you got ...however i am in a dc10 and do need to get to FL 320 OR 350 or more if weight allows.. at FL220 the wind stayed correct..but then reset the flight and added 1 more layer to FL330..and right after i passes 220 wind direction went crazy again..SO what i did is really start digging.. i got the ole e6b flight computer out and did the computation...and guess what..even though the wind showed 160 @40ish  at passing FL220 it really was within 2 to 4 degrees of what i put into the direction i.e 275 at 40 ..then the last thing i checked was at level flight at FL 230 and level ..was this.. with a tail wind that i programed assuming it really was blowing that speed and direction(230 @40) N1 was at 85 % i paused the flight and reset wind to 090 deg in the weather..same throttle setting the N1 jumped to 86.5..so this tells me the shift z display is not correct for some reason..between the e6b and the N1 jump i feel safe in saying it a bad reading...and the wind is blowing correct as programed. so wayne thank you for your help..it got me thinking there was  something else going on..and atleast resolved the issue to some extent..
