Why is that odd? Could you explain to me, I’m open Could you justify with empirical facts instead of opinion how the xplane weather solution is really behind msfs? (no war here between both of the sim please, just facts) Please go ahead.
My post does not concern our own opinions as “I like msfs better than Xplane” or “Xplane is super-professional, msfs is a game” That is not the spirit I mean.
I know that some users get hurt because of this word “msfs” in Xplane forums or here “xplane” on msfs forum, really it’s not in the reason that I created this thread. Let’s stay on the topic.
It’s about turbulence in bad weather conditions that is defintely missing in msfs and what we could expect in severe weather conditions based on what was promised “years ago” and clearly said in Q&A etc (again: as a matter of fact!)
If the reference to Xplane is odd for you, that’s right but it’s not enough to mention this way without solid facts… To make it reliable and solid, please launch Xplane find METAR/TAF bad unsafe weather conditons, fly your C172 in TS, TCU, CB and you’ll see easily that it’s not that odd as a reference … For one reason it shows you that it could be very dangerous to fly a light or big bird in real life in severe weather conditons, is it that odd?
What seems odd to me is to fly in any weather conditions in msfs without any danger, any convective in CB (by the way, turbulence in msfs have nothing to do with clouds, CB, TS and Severe weather conditions!!!)… This is what I call “flying on rails in msfs” no matter if we have weak turb or maybe CAT (I say maybe not sure if CAT are represented in msfs, it is hard to pimpoint that kind of turb) So having a 500/1500ft/min updraft for instance, or even very well done turb due to relief/mountains etc (again “very well done in msfs better than Xplane”!) has definitely nothing to do with bad or severe weather conditions.
By the way, I have a doubt now, have you ever gave a try to Xplane (last update weather) in severe weather conditions? If you say that it’s odd then you have something to bring more than I know and I’m open to read you.
However if you read the first post I’m talking here about Turbulence and Danger in the skies. So yes it is definitely there in Xplane (facts) and it’s not implemented in msfs (facts) .
Have you seen the videos that I shared in the first post? I don’t make it up.
Have you read the post to which I refered to?
If you have some time, just take a look
I’m not a glider pilot, just a “classic” one but I’ve learned some good stuff here from glider riders and even simmers who know better than me about thermals, jyeap it is missing in msfs as it’s not great in Xplane as welll (Fortunatelly they promised in Q&A a while ago that they will bring in SU12 thermals but sorry it’s not there as we should expect based on what was said…
Anyways, enjoy the reading and give your vote only if you consider that it is worth it and if you feel concerned by realism in msfs of course, we just try to get heard as much as possible not easy with the majority lol … !
