Chaseplane vs Active Sky Turbulence for GA Aircraft?

Featured Replies

Not sure where this belongs, but both are under the P3D v4.5HF2 umbrella...

I have been playing around with "turbulence" settings in Chase Plane and Active Sky.

When I have AS turbulence set high the aircraft is a real vomit-comet - moving all over the place, left to right, up and down, and it matches what I have seen in "bad" weather scenarios in real life. However, it seems excessive during normal weather.

Chase Plane, on the other hand, is much more "bump your butt up and down" type of turbulence, and from what I remember flying with my Dad in GA aircraft, a bit more realistic. However, I think we only went flying on nice days so this could be best case.

What is the more realistic effect, in the opinion of people who fly real GA airplanes? AS or CP? If you have a chasing wind of 30 knots would you be in a vomit-comet or just bumping your butt? Side wind, yeah - going to be bumpy.

Probably a blend of the two, no doubt...  🙂

I put A2A Accu Feel on the list, to me, this is pretty nice and comes with so many options that everybody should find a good setup, no matter what addon plane you use.

Thanks for the reminder! I had Accusim back with P3DV3 and earlier, but failed to pick up the 64 bit version. Will look into it again.

My only issue with Accu feel, which I think is a great product, is that I can't fly around storm cells in clear air without the violent turbulence you'd experience inside the cell affecting my aircraft, even if I'm 10 miles away. So, I always have to turn off A2A when I'm near storms.
