My questions: Is there a way of getting more variable turbulence with dhm and bump aircraft. I am getting either all or nothing in flight. And is there a way to get more dramatic up and down movement of aircraft. I fly RW cherokee 140 east of blue ridge mountains. On northwest wind days it can be throttle wide open to maintain altitude and then throttle all the way back trying to stay down and below maneuvering speed. The Opus turbulence as I have setup now already is the most challenging I've seen for prepar3d/fsx, I like it! With more dramatic thermals/air wave turbulence it would be RW challenging and spot on.

 

I recently bought opusfsx and have the most recent upgrade. I'm still working on getting everything set up properly, but so far I'm loving the more real simulation of weather especially low overcast for IFR practice. I also got the live camera working and dhm and using prpepar3d v1.4 in windowed mode. It's great but takes some time to get settings right for your computer/sim. In a nutshell, I can set the view, eyepoint the way I want and keep it that way throughout the flight, fly IFR all the way without ducking behind panel for blind view because low overcast effect keeps me in the clouds. Amazing!

Just set the Light Aircraft type and all defaults in the DHM dialog. If your sim allows it set 3DOF Bump Aircraft mode with a delay factor of 0. The LWE calculates the strength of the turbulence which can vary from 1 to 8, 0 implying no turbulence. The current level is displayed in the Spy window.

 

You can also configure additional site related effects to accommodate special circumstances where additional turbulence and wind shear may occur. There is a template file you can use to create your own addition effects.

Thanks for quick reply. I'll try all suggestions and let you no how it works Site effects sound interesting. It will take me few days to figure out and get the feel of new settings.
