Overall, I like the behavior of wind effects on planes, but it seems overdone. It is very rare to have smooth air and I know that depends on the actual wind data it is responding to. What I’d really like to have and a simple slider to affect the intensity of the turbulence effects. Right now it’s…

Good idea. I feel it can be overdone at times. Sometimes you just don’t feel like fighting the weather too

I also think it is overdone and I am a RW pilot.

This is an old wishlist request but I find it even more relevant now since the changes brought by recent sim updates: [image] Turbulence -- excessive or real world realistic Weather & Live Weather Ref: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/su9-turbulence-over-terrain-doe…

I have flown in SoCal during the so called Santa Ana winds in everything from C-150 to C-210s and PA18 to PA34s and even with winds >45 kts I have rarely if ever experienced these stakkato shimmies in the air that are now all over the place when over terrain and then disappear over water. Because w…

I totally agree - especially since SU11 the turbulence are making it very difficult to “just” perform a relaxed sightseeing-flight without the need to continually adjust heading etc. Also landing a plane in mountain regions has gotten more difficult.

It is definitely overdone. Too constant, too fast and too violent. Makes more realistic planes like PMDG misbehave, as their life-like flight systems were never designed to cope with anything so unnatural as the jerky motions we’re put through. This is almost a cartoon caricature of what turbulen…

Not so much turbulence but the strength and effect of updrafts. At the moment they are way too strong and that has the sensation of turbulence. This is all since “improving” the thermal modelling for gliders. I flew a glider for the first time in the sim today and without any glider experience I …

Totally agree. Please do something about that. Of course turbulence like depicted currently in MSFS can happen, but not constantly and everywhere.

Agree i think this is a super idea its def overdone sometimes

My guess is that turbulence was developed and tested by Asobo only using large aircraft like the A320 or 787, without being tested on smaller aircraft like the 172 or DA40. Or alternately it was developed and tested only using extreme turbulence, without checking the effect of very light turbulence…
