I use ASV http://www.hifisim.com and FS Build by Ernie Alston I think his name is. I apologize if I got it wrong as it is an amzing program http://www.fsbuild,com
I believe.
Using the two together, I can download a weather snapshot prior to ever loading FS. Then FSBuild can actually use that weather data to build a flight
plan around the prevailing winds. By entering the departure and arrival codes into ASV, I find out the departure and arrival winds prior to loading
FS. This way I can use the appropriate runway to build my Flight Plan. Once you load FS, there is a button on ASV that says refreash AI. when you
click this, it automatically shifts the AI to the correct runway. For some reason for me, no mtter what the winds, I always go to the primary runway
in Afcad. Very frustrating to hear wind of 240/4 and be sent to runway 4 for takeoff opposed to 22. ASV and FSBuild completely addressed the
situation...
