basic weather / cloud / temperature / surface based thermals, up & downdrafts are now integrated (Simupdate 9), they gonna get improved in future updates, a big CFD simulation (20km around the aircraft) is planned/ currently in research
-
thermals should get longer lasting updrafts which are surrounded by turbulent downdrafts
-
Weather features such as turbulence, cloud types and shapes should be emergent - they should be result of proper airmass simulation
-
broken ridge lift which goes up forever needs to be fixed
-
Wave & Convergence lift missing
-
Thermals shouldn’t be related to general windspeed and there shouldn’t be an general altitude strength limit (because these are planned updates to make ‘‘things more comfortable’’, but they are completely unrealistic)
-
the up & downdraft strength limitations seems to be lifted a little bit, however not completely, there is still lots of room before we come close to what is possible in reality
-
related to this topic I created a new and more specific wishlist thread
Realistic Dangerous Weather - Physics Simulation
If you want more realism in that regard, leave a vote right there as well -
there should be an integrated world map option to see where we have lots of updrafts / good thermal weather similar to the Meteoblue map
