That's actually not a bad idea. 

For people that are afraid of heights or don't know anything about aviation, they could restrict the aircraft to "taxi only"...

When the sim offers both live weather and manual weather, what is the actual use of providing sliders/configurability for live weather?? That just doesn't make sense to me... live weather = close to real weather as possible, manual weather = fictional and configurable to one's liking for all aspects of weather. You don't want gusts, go to manual weather and disable all that and whatever else.

Now as I stated in an earlier post (https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/624465-asobo-may-dumb-down-wind-gusts-again-stop-them-please/?do=findComment&comment=4847765), turbulence is not directly configurable in MSFS given that it's a function of various geographic/atmospheric/etc conditions which holds true whether in manual or live weather.. but at least with SU10 if you don't want turbulence you can go to manual weather and set wind to zero to reduce turbulence by 90%, or winds between 0-3 knots for 50% reduction in turbulence (in live weather turbulence will also be reduced like this if real wind data falls in these ranges)

Look I'm not a pilot but my brother's cousin's father's uncle has been flying 30+ years for Monarch and Pan Am, so I know a thing or two about how my digital pixel candy serious simmer airplane is suppose to be thrusted through wind currents becoz like umm aerodynamics duh.🤪

That would have been correct IF that turbulence wasn't translated in a somewhat exaggerated manner. Now, if you want live weather on one hand but don't want a 2-3 knot choppiness to shake a 70 tons airliner on the other. How do you go about achieving that?

If you need a slider then just don't use real world weather and stick to the presets. It is real world weather for a reason

Many of the people asking for a slider  have probably never been in a small aircraft. 

Such a myopic view.

I’ll give you a specific use case. I’ve used P3D, X-Plane, and now MSFS to help my clients significantly reduce the time and cost of obtaining an instrument rating. And yes, I’m completely aware that none of those simulated hours are able to be logged. It, however, has proven to me to be one of the most effective ground school training tools available.

Regarding turbulence, I am favoring MSFS these days specifically because real time weather more closely matches what we see in current forecast products. What is not super beneficial is fighting simulated turbulence effects in an already artificial environment. So yeah, I’d like the benefit of real-time weather and the ability to choose turbulence or not.

So you want real weather, but not too real  😉

I just don't understand why people just don't turn off live weather and customize the weather as they see fit. I have done it many of times in the past.

It's too much trouble I guess. They would rather have sliders so they can turn off anything about the live weather they don't like. 😉    Oh, there is a 6 knot crosswind on my landing runway, I am going to slide that to off.....LOL

Kind of like you suggested in this post before.

Hmmm…..what super weird is people advocating for less choice instead of more. But I guess it takes all types.

What's even weirder is wanting live weather with the features of customized weather.

Serious simmers need to either adapt or quit with no options when it comes to weather, it ruins realism!

Meanwhile...

Wahh wahhh wahhh...why can't you 3rd party developers give us options and sliders for airport interiors, you're ruining my sim with too much realism.😫😭

I suppose I shouldn’t expect you to understand. It seems it is beyond a certain level of comprehension, so I’ll agree to disagree.

And you can't seem to get the fact that you can adjust the weather in MSFS the way you want it,  just like in any other home sim as well as the sims that the Airlines use, made by CAE that cost upwards of $20,000,000
