blunt_waco Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Folks, Say I'm flaying somewhere in the Persian Gulf map and I wanted to check wind speed and direction. The only thing I found in the manual to do it is in the attached file. Is this correct? or is there another way of checking? Thank you as always....
Kang Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Well, the traditional way would be to look at a windsock and/or listen to your departure location ATC reading it out. The PVI-800 function is actually rather comfortable.
blunt_waco Posted May 19, 2020 Author Posted May 19, 2020 Why dont you satisfied with this solution? I wasn't sure if it was the correct way. The manual was confusing for me, because earlier in the manual, it suggested that I needed to setup the weather.

You can change the wind information in the PVI-800 manually, as the system doesn't know these values by itself. In DCS the ground crew seems to be doing that automatically before the craft spawns in, so no worries. In real life they have to be punched in manually after getting them from the station meteorological office. so the navigation system can account for wind drift automatically later.
