October 29, 201510 yr In the past I recall many problems related with automatic flight and departure from expected operation to stem from the way MSFS models turbulence. Whenever I re-install any flavor of FSX, now again FSX:SE, and start using the PMDGs ( presently the 777 200 and 300 ) I notice that, even under the most adverse weather scenarios, with thunderstorms, shear and intense winds with shear, it's pretty much piece of cake to land the aircraft in any runway. I wonder if during that countdown we go through when a PMDG is being loaded into our flight simulator session, some smoothing of the turbulence and max wind intensity and shear scalars takes place, even if some external weather injector is being used ?

Nope. It's more likely that your weather injector is doing it. Kyle Rodgers

November 1, 201510 yr The countdown is to do with initialising the simulation. However the way PMDG have improved the response to turbulence of the 777 in FSX is fully described in the 777 Introduction Manual.
November 1, 201510 yr Author Thx kevin. just read it... So the filtering is always on the simulated AFCS of the 777 and not on the weather parameters themselves. Ok.

November 2, 201510 yr Author I do have Accufeel, but haven't installed it in FSX:SE, and believe it could interfere negatively with the PMDG custom made flight dynamics ? Could try it though... Thx for the suggestion Teo.
