May 1, 20206 yr They could have looped it a bit better, as it is, it looks more like an invasion of Triffids than wind blowing stuff. 🤣 Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
May 1, 20206 yr I'm pretty sure that in winds like that, the aeroplane in the foreground should be being blown around a bit too. It's only a Cub, and they aren't very heavy. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

That's what tie-downs and flying club bars/cafes are for. 🙂 If they're trying to make the new sim realistic, the aeroplane should not be unaffected by the environmental conditions.

If such an aircraft is not affected by such a wind, it could be that the trees are not moving based on the Metar wind simply because the Metar wind affects the aircraft at any altitude... Unless we have some infrastructure or terrain that acts as a windshield and we can;t see it here... I lost an edit where I mentioned that it could be also that the vegetation animation is a first draft and that the movement is exaggerated vs wind strength and will be improved... just a guess.

May 1, 20206 yr Author Even the rain is moving sideways! I feel like the effect on the aircraft on ground is important also. However... It needs to be done correctly. For example, in XP11, in a 35kt crosswind on the ground, it will put the wing of a multi-hundred thousand pound airliner into the ground, which is totally unrealistic. I am all for wind effects on aircraft while stationary on the ground, but it does need to be done correctly - not like XP. Who knows, maybe they already have that and the low level trees/bushes are blocking the wind from affecting the aircraft too much.

Asobo had a presentation in the weather Aerodynamics video on how wind flows I suppose. It was well thought. But I agree, no civilian flight simulator among those we use now have a convincing and refined behavior of aircraft when they are on the ground...

May 1, 20206 yr I think my present motherboard/CPU/GPU will take one look at the RTM...and tell me; "Nothing to see here...move on, move on..." 😞

Keep in mind that the 3D tree models are only used up close and are replaced with 2D billboards at distance.
