Just testing CFD in su11 and i’m think it’s amazing to have CFD in a flightsimulator that can run on a normal pc or console. Don’t need NASA computers for this 
It’s easy to complain about performance and graphics but under the hood we have this.

its very cool to be able to actual see the CFD.
I guess this means we can see what planes use CFD and what do not? Is that correct?

We have been able to see that since su9 i think it was. Devmode->options->aircraft->CFD. then toggle what you want to see But the visualization has been updated in su11

Perrry… Have you had a chance to look into the atmospheric updates?
Improved atmospheric simulation with a big focus on Thermals and general tweaks for the CFD 
BTW… Thanks for caring so much and being so vocal to try to keep pushing for realistic weather in the sim!

You can see thermals now if you toggle the thermals visualization in the right bottom corner in weather settings in flight. Hope i explained it well. I can’t tell how perfect it is but it feels better in my opinion. I wish we had downdrafts as well in cold air that moves towards ground. But that Asobo said they will improve with 20km CFD that they testing. I really looking forward to that feature
Think how cool to have that CFD you can see around the plane in my video 20km around the aircraft. If that will be implemented we will actually have as real airflow as it gets.
But air in a flightsimulator can always improve
No problem at all. I can’t understand why i care so much but i found this sim weather has so much potential

I’m guessing with su11 beta this is still only for pc?
the visualization of CFD is, because it’s in the devmode. But i bet the CFD running in the background on consoles as well.
Thermals visualization you should be able to toggle on in weather settings.

No I tried it this AM on Xbox x - both some thermals and cfd visuals
Yes and the community is maintaining a list with all the airplanes which are using the CFD:
New Propeller + CFD + Soft Body Simulation / Airplane list

You can also look in the “flight_model.cfg” file if it isn’t encrypted.
I was kinda hoping this would make it into su11 
Gradual improvement is good though, keeps the variables more controlled for testing!

I think it can be ‘‘activated’’ for every aircraft, but in order to work realistically developers have to do some additional things (if I understood it correctly in some Q&A long time ago)

Yes, i bet the flightmodel needs to be updated. But reinject data into flightmodel is new.
Reverse thrust.
Edit: “reinject into flightmodel” will make the cfd impact the aircraft

I used it this morning

I can see the thermals toggle on the bottom right of the weather window but where is the cfd toggle please?
That’s in the menu settings under assistance i think,

The reinjection feature was also there in SU9, but you had to start a project to be able to do that
