Realistic turbulence is exaggerated and it’s been known since 2020 the actual realistic setting is either medium or low, plus many users have addons like fsrealstic or realturb that need lower default turbulence settings.
ATC enforce flight plan doesn’t make any sense especially for live weather missions, causing the game to penalize you because you didn’t land on the default runway with tailwind or on the opposite end of the field forcing you to make a useless 1nm long backtaxi on a c172.
So keeping this setting on is actually the non-realistic option.
Crash damage and stress damage have been broken since the fsx days
Locking them for weekly challenges? Sure it makes sense, for a single player career it doesn’t.

It makes sense IF things like the ones you detailed work the way they should.

Locking turbulence/wind/weather is the same dealbreaker it was in 2020 for VR. The g-forces naturally experienced in real life turbulence are not present in VR, invoking nausea if present for an extended time. I play with wind off because my office chair isn’t moving. I need smooth flight or I get nausea very quickly in VR turbulence.
This should be moved to wishlist and I could not possibly agree with this any more.
Totally agree.
I’ve had missions that were impossible to land because of severe turbulence on final.
Other missions impossible to complete in the 172 because of icing.
This is one reason why I restarted my career and refuse to get the IFR certification until it is toned down. Everything is fine until you get IFR.
