just a few thoughts:
Live weather appears to have been ‘gutted’ or ‘greatly altered’ sometime around SU5. Before that time there were actually complaints of too much lightning. Now we have complaints that there are no thunderstorms at all. So why should anyone expect the severe winds and turbulence that are associated with something that no one can see/find in the sim anymore?
Secondly, the new CFD flight model is something that has to be enabled for each plane and then fine tuned for that plane. The reason Seb chooses the default C172 G1000 is because that one plane (along with few others) have the new model enabled. Its up to any third party developer to enable and then fine tune the flight model of their created plane.
So what I see in this thread are complaints from people flying planes that probably don’t have CFD enabled or tuned into dangerous weather that doesnt actually exist anymore.
As a person who flies the C172 G1000 a lot, I can tell you that it does get tossed and pushed around. But if anyone is expecting to see any of the default plane models ripped to shreds due to excessive forces, they can forget it. Maybe third party developers will be allowed to do that but it will be on them to make that flight model work. And there has to be actual thunderstorms in the sim to begin with which there really aren’t. No high overcast in the USA either. No alto cumulus decks. No varying global haze.
