Are you using Active Sky Advanced and FSX, by any chance?

Unfortunately I use ASA and FSX, and I know with those two there are certain settings in ASA that will apply cruise wind direction and speed to the destination airport (which makes for some interesting runway choices, and tricky landings if the destination winds are strong).

Have you tried the HiFiSim forums? http://www2.hifisim.com/forum

Make sure you're on "online mode," otherwise it will load some random weather scheme instead of downloading the weather. I had that problem once too.
