It’s great to have these wake turbulence visualisation*.
- Could be ever greater to be able to remove our own one generated by our own plane as it’s polluting the cockpit view.
- Was expecting something wider and more looping at the exterior section of the wake.
- Did feel the impact of the engine exhaust by just taxiing behind an liner even if they were no turbulence green lines visible. Suspect the MSFS green lines are displayed only by the lift generated wake turbulence.

Yeah, while I haven’t yet flown in an aircraft’s wake - I don’t know if I’m super impressed with the behavior/evolution of the wake turbulence in this implementation.
The wake seems to drift and advect in some way (perhaps even with the wind, but not sure yet), but the lateral spreading is not there. Observing departing aircraft at KATL, for instance, it does not seem like the phenomena of wake turbulence spreading across and affecting adjacent runways is a thing at all. What remains does seem to linger and decay at a reasonable rate, however. It’s also kind of odd to see a Cessna have a pretty large wake plume? Decent first try; I’m going to play with this a little further.

Does the performance drop a lot when you enable the visualisation? It could be a reason why it is showing a smaller area.
It needs further tests but my initial tests show low impact. Frankly speaking it’s not really a feature (the visualisation) I want to have activated by default, so once in a while for learning purpose, it’s great.
