FSX-MS Aircraft are unrealistically steady

[calypso 32]

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

Wrong subforum?

Active Sky. 😄

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

Which one do you suggest?

You are fine where you are! 😄

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!

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

If you're staying with FSX, recommend Accu-Feel for a more realistic feel and AS16 for weather (which increases that realistic, less stable feel).

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?
