Live weather turbulence causing motion sickness

[Britjet 1]

I have a Reverb G2 and I’m finding that for longer flights I have to switch off Live weather due to the frequent bumps and jolts causing motion sickness.

It would be a good idea if Asobo would give the ability to delete the winds while still enjoying the real weather clouds etc..

Actually what they need - and something I put in the Official Wish List long ago - is for a "Cockpit Vibration/Smoothing" Option, Racing Sims have it and it's called (amongst other things) "Lock To Horizon" whereby the players VR "Head" remains still so that immense vibrations and bumps from the roads surface are numbed down dramatically. The same similar effect can be applied to Flight Sims like this where Turbulence can cause Nausea, something like this is obvious that it should've been included from the First Patch but it is what it is.

"Live weather turbulence causing motion sickness"  this sounds very realistic 😄

In RW you (eyes etc) move with the view - in VR you don’t - hence the effect.

Quite nauseating for some..

Excactly!  Just experienced the same and switched to clear sky.  But MAN what an experience!  Just had a fantastic flight in New Zealand!

I put this to the Zendesk and they are including it as an item to be looked at.

It's like the "headroll due to G-force" effect in combat flightsims. Glad i can that turn that one off although there are people who want that option removed because it is not realistic when not enabled.

Problem is that your brain does not compensate for what you see because it doesn't feel what should be felt.

Still didn't happen... just had a VR flight in the Cessna 152 with quite some heavy turbulence, not really got motion sickness but the aircraft moving up and down around the viewpoint is not what it should be.

Yep as we've seen in the two+ years since VR integration they don't care enough about it to make improvements, the bare minimum is all they do and at times it's not even that unfortunately.

when I'm a passenger in a car, within just a minute or two of me reading a book or map etc. I end up feeling pretty nauseous. Another family member can read a book/map/phone endlessly as a passenger, even on rough or windy roads and be totally fine.

However, in VR, I'm generally okay when car racing and flying aircraft, but the same family member above is sick almost immediately. Quite strange how it all works.
