Still no in-cloud turbulence in live-WX (2024)

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• still and issue in su4

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

I know this is kind of beating a dead horse esp since this already has bug logged, but just another data point… With the weather this weekend, I tried a flight out of kmem in the US that had some significant weather using the fbw a320. While there were some nicely dramatic clouds on the climb out, there was zero turbulence. Since there is no wx radar, I couldn’t reference specific cells or anything, but it stood to reason there should be something.

For comparison, I did a live weather flight in xp12 latest version w/ the a330 immediately after. There was so much turbulence it was hard to click buttons in the cockpit (and I kind of mean that in a good way).

I’m not saying that xp12 is the be all end all, comparing the two, etc. It’s just a data point that highlighted to me how dramatic the impact of this missing is to flights.

Really hoping that SU5 or 6 will be a sim-weather-update…:crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:

Better clouds, turbulence, CBs to 30-40k, 3d wx radar etc😬

Sorry to ping a mod @SeedyL3205 but I thought I saw you in the on-going live Dev stream going on right now (15apr 1800Z).

In Martial’s bug list, this topic is shown as Solved in SU3(?). It is NOT resolved.

Furthermore, in the topic here, status is Bug logged - not resolved.

Is this why the topic gets no attention? Wrong status? They think it is fixed…

Can you please check if the Devs actually think this is resolved; while it is not (live-WX).

Thanks!

It’s unreal that a flight simulator, doesn’t simulate any turbulence.

Turbulence ruins the screenshots :smile:
In all seriousness, you are absolutely correct. Sadly MS have shown they’d rather include other things which may or may not be relevant to flying.

I second that 100% !!! Still flying in CB/TS with a Cub! How come for the sake of realism!

What’s your turbulence settings at in game?

I have them to the max possible level.

There are no turbulence at all, like, absolutely nothing.

I’ve been testing a bit in SU5 with realistic turbulence.

The only way to get any turbulence in clouds etc is to use FSRealistic+ turbulence setting AND realistic turbulence in msfs2024 (medium in 2024 produced no turbulence from my testing). I’ve set the two bars in FSR+ to 45-50ish. Experimenting still…

That actually produce some nice head-shaking, both in GAs and airliners. Problem is this mostly head-shake, while the AC itself is more still. But at least it felt pretty good. So the turbulence data is there. Problem is msfs2024 does not utilize it/does not have head-shake etc.

This is the best I’ve come up with so far. Shame one has to use a 3rd party program to induce turbulence. Also realistic turbulence in some AC might me too much. Pmdg737 was swaying on LLZ, and had to disengage AP. Fenix been handling it good so far.

But msfs itself is still lacking turbulence in clouds etc. Nice if anyone else could try with FSR+ :+1:
