Out of air in Africa ...

[Neil Trotter]

Running FS2004 under XP, on a flight in the Baron from Catumbela Angola
(FNCT) to Windhoek (FYWH), I'm getting a sinking feeling about 10 mins
into the flight.

The air pressure drops, the indicated altitude steps upwards (in several
stages), engine performance (as indicated by fuel flow) drops, and so
does indicated air speed. Changes are steep enough that I can maintain
neither speed nor altitude, and the aircraft sinks out of the sky.

Realism is set to high, though reliability is 100% (even if that's not
100% realistic :-) I'm using Real Weather at present, though I will
continue to experiment, for example with static weather.

Has anyone else noticed weirdness such as this, in West Africa or
elsewhere?

Hmm, using static weather "fixes" it ... so either there is a rogue
weather station in the area somewhere, or data for that particular
station (or the region) is being processed badly by FS.

Still be interested to hear other ideas, experiences, etc. though. :-)
