Never have rough waters

I alway use real live weather.  How come the seas are alway calm? Rarely even see white caps.  Am I missing some setting somewhere?

I think the winds need to be above 15 kts or so.

You can test by setting custom weather/wind.

You probably do see rough water but it never looks particularly rough because waves breaking on a shore or over a sea wall aren't modelled. So no matter what all seems calm and relatively peaceful. Nor are there tides or ships and boats riding the waves.

Yes the seas are relatively flat in live weather, even with strong winds.

Seas must be flat. There is no physical modeling for water. Planes and boats float on flat surface. Two meters high waves and you plane would sunk which does not look realistic.

I really hope that the MSFS2024 does model the water...
