Until now there hasn’t been any realistic feeling turbulence in any flight simulator (that is probably why people are complaining because people are not used to it). But in real life in turbulent conditions you constantly have to use the aileron to compensate, it’s actually really hard to control a …

[image] BorisGlevrk: your nose can’t point at the same spot for more than 0.1 second. Why is it that I don’t experience this at all? Why, are we flying two different sims? I can post a short flight as I experience it?

Why does yawdamper exist? It’s to prevent this to happen Dutch roll Dutch roll is an aircraft motion consisting of an out-of-phase combination of "tail-wagging" (yaw) and rocking from side to side (roll). This yaw-roll coupling is one of the basic flight dynamic modes (others include ph…

Excuse my ignorance as I’m not an IRL pilot but when people say a crosswind of 17 knots do they mean a windspeed of 17 knots or a direct crosswind that is smashing in to the side of the plane? If I have a 17 knot wind, but that wind aligns with the runway and I’m taking off into it, does that mean …

[image] Kjaye767: when people say a crosswind of 17 knots The “crosswind” is the vector component of the wind perpendicular to the runway. So, if people say the crosswind component is 17 knots, that’s the speed of the wind perpendicular to the runway. [image] Kjaye767: wind aligns with t…

Thanks, that’s helpful to know. The mathematics of it goes right over my head but good that some people understand this stuff!

[image] GhostlyFrend: Why is it that I don’t experience this at all? Why, are we flying two different sims? I can post a short flight as I experience it? One possibility is the weather model is less accurate in some part of the world. I exclusively fly in Asia Pacific and it’s known that both…

[image] Perrry: They removed the roll motion because some said it were unrealistic. Now also the yaw motion is unrealistic? I think instead of remove that they should maybe focus on simulate yaw damper if thats not working propperly in aircraft that has that available. Because it’s not rol…

I think that definition is for the ultra expensive “flight simulator” that tilts you around with hydraulic actuators (note that it says “device”, not software) There’s a reason why FS2004’s manual has such a disclaimer at the first page: “Flight Simulator is a recreational software, not a FAA-cert…

You mean that new simulators should be same as fs2004? I’m more used to xplane with more varied winds. Maybe thats why our expectation varies.

Thanks Asobo, this turbulence is absolutely spot on!
