Is it possible to replace the fsx dumbed down version with fs9. At least fs9 knew which way the wind was blowing most of the time. If it is possible how would you do it? It also would be good for a chuckle if M$ ever tried to put a GCA function into a version of FS.

I am beginning to think you are correct Gary. After looking into it further, to do it it does look impossible. I wonder if there is a way to have ATC recognize user directed weather instead. It now seems to follow the default weather.As a test I tried landing at CYWG and all that was changed was wind speed. The default wind direction was 003. ATC then directed me to runway 36 which was the correct runway for the wind.Also when changing wind direction in user defined the default wind heading does not change. In fs9 it also did not but ATC could still recognize the wind change.Perhaps M$ will come up with a fix {dont hold your breath}.
