Wind ambience exerts very unrealistic effects on an aircraft in the air, especially in gusts. The description of that effect is that it should apply only to the aircraft on the ground, but that is not true. As soon as I turn it off in the air, the aircraft starts to behave normally. The unrealistic effect I speak of is aircraft banking 20 degrees left, then right, then again left. Even 5 kts gusts will not do that to you.

WARNING! I found out that the wind ambience feature causes an issue on the Fenix A320 nose wheel with GSX:
The airplane is resting at the stand, I open the weather menu and increase the wind slider to say 40 knots. Nothing happens, the nose wheel correctly does not move. Then I ask GSX for a pushback: the tug (either towbar or towbarless) is connected to the wheel and the pushback starts. After the tug (and the airplane) stops in the final position, the wheel starts whirling fast (triggering BRAKES HOT message and making the airplane shake if FSR groud roll is active) and even if I reset wind speed to zero, it keeps turning. As soon as the tug disconnects, the spinning stops. If I disable wind ambience, the issue is not present. Could you please check? Thank you!
