Turbolences are to strong and to much?

Hi Guys,

Yesterday at a flight from Egelsbach to Genf with the Cj4 i got many strong turbulence over few clouds. These feels to me as non rl pilot to much and to strong. Can you confirm that it is also so in rl when your a real world pilot.? I mean i had on 3/4 of the flight time these turbulence.

regards Legendsy

Is it constant or jolts? I’ve had some issues with spontaneous weather spawning that causes sudden jolts.

no its constantly

Did your routing primarily take you over mountainous terrain? The turbulence over these areas such as over the Alps is indeed very over-done, even with light winds it is very exaggerated.

Yes i flown over the Alps/Mountains a bit. But the Turbolences starts at Herbi wehre are no Mountains.

Hmm okay, not too sure then, sorry I can’t be of anymore help with your issue.

I made anew flight from Genf to Frankfurt am main which is near Frankfurt-Egelsbach. And i regonized at this flight the Strong Turbolences over the Montains like you have described. Maybe i had also the Turbolences on the flight to Genf over the Mountains and i rember me wrong that i had the turbolences way earlier.But thanks for your Answere

There’s some more discussion about this over in the bug area of the forums if you’re interested, I’ll link a couple here for you:

I have noticed on my flights say if I’m approaching the alps, the over-done turbulence will start a bit before I reach them, sort of over where the terrain begins to rise before I reach the actual mountains. So maybe this is what you also experienced :slight_smile:

There is only turbulence above mountains unfortunately and yes it seems too strong at high altitudes as it should dissipate as altitude increases.

It would be okay if there was actually clear air turbulence modeled, which can be severe sometimes.
Cloud turbulence is also not modeled. When the rising air stops and falls down it creates turbulence in the cloud.

Would be nice to have real clear air turbulence in the sim, as reported on the real life weather charts.
And turbulence in clouds which would be easy to implement because it depends on cloud size, temperature and height?

Turbulence in the clouds??? I barely have any turbulence, at least with live weather, only when flying close to mountains. And I even think there is a mega tread about not having turbulence in clouds…

Me too and is very unrealistic! All the turbulence system needs a redesign. What’s the meaning of flying without turbulences like in the real world? Is like driving a car without vibrations on the road.

Boring…

Can honestly say that I’ve encountered some fairly extreme turbulence with live weather on… Was on a flight from Juneau, AK to Port Hardy in Canada on Sunday morning with live weather on and there was essentially cloud cover from 80 ft to 30,000 ft with winds around 90 kts at altitude (given my direction, it was a 55 kt headwind and 40 kt crosswind). Realistic conditions to what they were having in Southeast Alaska and in real life I would never have attempted to fly this in the Kodiak as they were even cancelling 737 commercial flights. Anyways, was able to depart and climb to 7000 ft altitude. Hit severe turbulence over terrain that was peaking out at 4300 ft (33 nm South of PAJN) about 25 minutes into the flight. I tried to initiate a climb to 11,000 to try and break out of it but in the process of trying to climb out with the Turbulence, ended up stalling out into an unrecoverable spin and nosing it into the ground. Fortunately this was all in the sim so I could walk away, but definitely was weathered into Juneau with the turbulence. Plenty of excitement…
