Errors of AMBIENT WIND Y dependencies on the values of flight conditions and terrain settings in SU11

I cannot stress enough how much a change in updrafts below clouds is needed.

In Condor good lift can be found under clouds that look like real Cumulus clouds

In MSFS we have to set our clouds to look like this to find any lift below them

Density, TopAltitude & Coverage need to be way to high for a cloud to produce lift in MSFS.

Suggestions on how to fix it (the green curve) have been posted by @ANRI8496 in the beginning of this thread, but unfortunately nothing has changed in this regard in the SU12 Beta.

I’m trying to set up realistic looking clouds for soaring in the sim, but getting close to 0 lift in MSFS
