Some of the things like gusts were in the sim, got disabled and now gonna come back maybe. Up and down drafts also were in the sim much stronger and got limited, now reworked with thermals for an basic implementation.
Not all of the listed above are completely missing, some are just too limited in terms of realism, just that everybody can have a chill flight no matter the conditions.
What I’m trying to say is a lot of this is too far away from beeing realistic if you end up with an small ga airplane in an big cumulus cloud and have almost no effect, while in reality it would throw you around, for example.
Asobo mentioned some sort of advanced CFD simulation in the future and I created this thread so people can vote for more realism or they don’t vote if they should leave it more arcade like, like it is right now.
