Realistic Dangerous Weather - Physics Simulation

Thanks for reminding about that, I found the Q&A where Seb was talking about the ‘‘big CFD’’ project.

(timestamp 01:13:26)

Rewatching it, he perfectly describes our complaining points :joy:

  • current system only works locally
  • airflow of thermals doesn’t create any turbulence/ vortices on the side
  • no down draft connection caused by up drafts / airmass combination

Solution:

  • 20km big CFD (simular to aircraft CFD) currently in research (May 25, 2022),
    which also goes pretty high
  • should manage, improve atmospheric airflow
  • improves up/down drafts, wind
  • adds local wind effects you don’t get from live weather

The Big CFD in combination with the newly implemented ‘‘no up/down draft limit’’ could really open the door for ‘realistic dangerous weather simulation’ :slight_smile:
But sadly they didn’t mentioned anything about it since almost a year now.


Edit: at the end Seb said about the 20km CFD:

Simupdate 11 maybe… but not 10.

Meanwhile we are at Simupdate 12… :sweat_smile:
