I think this has been addressed before but since the addition of ActiveSky to my system I thought I would bring it up again. I've been flying with all turbulence turned off for some time now because with it on, the PIC autopilot doesn't perform correctly. Pitch controll seems to be frozen while encountering turbulence and the autothrottles don't adjust power. I blew right through the speed limit on climbout the other night from LAX while being tossed around in the clouds. I've already reduced the turbulence setting as recommended but it doesn't seem to help much. What does everyone else do regarding the turbulence situation? Does FLCH work better than VNAV in this situation or should I go back to flying the SMOOOTH skies? Thanks for any comments.

Jeff:I know what you mean... exact same situation here. I have found that if I get into turbulence and the A/P can't hack it, I switch to N1 hold (at CLB or CLB1) and V/S hold. I just work the V/S wheel to hold the appropriate airspeed. When the turbulences ends, I switch back to VNAV and continue.JamesP.S. - the wake turbulence feature is cool but it's way to intense. I've found that 737's make my 767 rock n' roll like a C152.Also, if I remember correctly, wake turbulence descends at 500 ft/min. So, unless the a/c in front of you on the approach is too high, you should never really get into the wake. But the ActiveSky wake doesn't seem to descend at all, and then it makes for a real hairy final approach. I think I about collapsed the gear at KIND the other day.

I am having the same situation almost.When flying at FL410 from KATL to EGKK (London Gatwick) over the Atlantic, I was flying at Mach .80 and I suddenly got a tailwind from ActiveSky and it threw my plane into a high speed stall. After that I redid the same route at FL370 and at .79 Mach, it was more smooth but sometimes the 767 throttles go to idle and then back up to normal power, do any of you know why this happens? I know that it's supposed to change relative to the speed and wind direction but sometimes it just goes to idle and then slowly it goes back up to the cruise airspeed. Very weird. Has any of you seen this?Teo

To reduce the unrealisitc affects of turbulence in FS2k2, go to your FS2002.cfg file, look for the weather section, change the turbulence setting to 0.2000vive la difference.For those crazy wind changes causing stalls, you can limit the change of speed per second in FSUIPC...assuming FSUIPC interacts with activesky which I don't have so I can't say for sure.FSmeteo is the weather champ IMHO, worth every penny! ;-)Rob.

Thanks, but I've already made the adjustment in the config file. The a/p still can't handle pitch/auto-throttle functions while in turbulence. I'm surprised this hasn't been a bigger subject in the past.
