I just had a try of the first few missions and I can’t see any controllability issues because it isn’t difficult to stay on the path. The turbulence we are seeing I’d class as light to moderate. In a real aircraft you can gauge the level easier because it is based on feel. No papers or drink bottles are flying around the cabin and we can’t feel if we are being forced out of our seat or not in the sim!
If you are trying to counteract each turbulent movement, don’t. That is over controlling and just makes it worse. In real life too. As you can see, once it yaws one way, it yaws in the other next. So you just adjust smoothly to keep your track.
However, the aircraft was maybe yawing more than I’d expect given the affects on roll in particular. It is a bit hard to be subjective in a sim because in real life we are attached to the aircraft. In the sim we aren’t, so the view/feeling is different. Asobo need the gauges to react properly like they do now so I’m not sure what they can do about it.
It’s been quite a few years since I’ve flown so maybe someone more current can chime in on 172 in particular accuracy.
