How close to reallife acting the Aircraft in Storm or Thunderstorm conditions in MSFS 2020?
To mee it feels a bit to easy to land a plane sucessfully under storm and thunderrstorm conditions in msfs 2020. i used for a test in msfs 2020 and xp11 the default thunderstorm presets
I remeber me that i had to do a lot of work more in xplane 11 to land the plane sucessfully and hold it on course to the runway. What do you think is the Aircraft acting under storm conditions quiet realistic in msfs? and also in the msfs i see the lightning but i didnt hear any thunder.
This has been my #1 gripe with the sim since release. We need accurate thunderstorm modeling. Severe turbulence, updrafts, downdrafts, windshear, gusts. This sim is very enjoyable, but dude…c’mon…You can fly right through the middle of a super cell and not get but a few bumps of “light chop” or “Delta moderate”
This is true. I usually land the airliners on any runway regardless of wind speed or direction. It makes little difference. A thunderstorm makes very little difference also. Mostly seem to be for visual effect.
The complete lack of weather effects inside storms and clouds is maybe one of the top priorities, but unfortunately looks like it will not be amended in SU10… It’s absurdely unrealistic that you get inside a big cumulus cloud and you get no shaking at all… My impression (but I think it’s a fact more than an impression) is that clouds are only textures you encounter during flight and the sim itself does not even know that inside you may have up/downdrafts and turbulence… Further, 3rd party developers can’t extract weather data to create something like ActiveSky… Completely disappointed…
Clouds exists because of unstable air. Gusts are now in the sim after su10 but some complains it’s too much and want to turn it off to be able to look at the scenery and relax. I wonder what those will say when it’s not possible to fly through a thunderstorm cloud anymore. Thunderstorm turbulence is overdone i bet they will say. Make my A320 be like a paper-plane.
I think we never will get realistic airflow in this sim. Asobo listening instantly on those that doesn’t understand air can make an A320 be like a paper-plane or like a leaf
Instead of remove or limit things they should add information about it and explain what to do when we are in those conditions or how to avoid those types of weather conditions. Simulators purpose is to learn how things work IRL. Not make it more simple/easy because some not understand/like it.
Those not like it will always say it’s overdone even if it’s not.
I’ve never seen anyone mentioning something is overdone shown researched data for their overdone statement. If they did and could provide facts i could agree.
I think what you say is completely obvious … Of course a virtual pilot should know what the weather effects are, otherwise he should not attempt to fly an airplane… Even to fly an airplane one should be instructed on how to do… Based on what you say, sim airplanes should just be “press a key to fly”… We don’t want toys here, we want an environment as close to reality as possible… Those who don’t want this, are invited to switch to games…Those effects must be as close to reality as possible and the weather radar is there just to avoid that the airplane becomes a paper airplane…
Incredible, just heard that the weather radar in SU10 is completely UNREALISTIC and will not be used by Fenix for their A320… That’s really a SHAME!!
I fly the C172 pretty much exclusively and my problem with winds and gusts is that they dont seem to move the airplane around in 3D space as I would think but rather its like a gust comes along and quickly pushes on the tail and then for some reason my airplane springs back and forth a bit along my trajectory. It just feels unreal to me.
