Aircraft are unrealistically steady

I was wondering if there was an add-on available for FSX which would provide some random movement to the aircraft.

Active Sky. 😄

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

A2A AccuFeel. Or FSPS Cockpit Effect. Or Or failing that, put some sand in your joystick's sensors. 🤣

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

You do have aircraft realism all set to their maximum values, don't you?  A weather add-on with turbulences would do the trick.

Go and get the new Microsoft flight simulator. Word on the street says the planes in the new sim move like a kid with ants in his pants! You'll love it!

FAA: ATP-ME, 737 CA, enough time in the 757/767 to be dangerous 🤠

Realism all max, Accufeel and ActiveSky. Also depends on what plane. Virtualcols planes are hard to get straight onto runway with this setting.

Thanks, but as a (very) old flight simmer (1982 - I still have the 5 1/4 inch diskette 🙂), I am waiting for the new 2020 "simulator" to develop from eye candy into a proper working simulator.

FSUIPC can inject random turbulence too I believe..

As an old pilot I can reveal a secret; aircraft are designed to be stable. Otherwise they would be dangerous. 

John, I'm with you on this topic! The best options are Active Sky 16 with its turbulence slider, and/or (I'm an 'and') Accusim with its own turbulence slider. I flew a cherokee 180 for an hour last year and took careful note of how unsmooth the flight was, even on a bright sunny day.  Back in the sim, I refined those two sliders to get the exact same response from my A2A cherokee. I also employ a 'buttkicker' seat vibration device (mine is the Pearl 'Throne Thumper' used by drummers) for an extra feeling of immersion.

Weirdly, I have an Alabeo plane, the PA-44 Seminole that had that wayward jiggle right off the bat.

Sorry for the off topic question: I am thinking about getting something like that.  I miss the feeling under the seat of my pants flying a real plane when I'm simming now.  Does the buttkicker device give you the same feeling of a subwoofer without additional noise?
