Hi, I posted a thread a couple of months ago in this forum, regarding what I then thought was a lack of aileron movement on both the PMDG 737-800 and the Fenix A320.

I have now revised that view following the release of ActiveSky. I now find that when using ActiveSky, I can visually see the ailerons moving when in choppy or turbulent weather on the Fenix A320, but not on the PMDG 737-800 in the same conditions. ActiveSky is set to Live Weather as is MSFS.

Initially, I thought that this was down to a difference in the programme code, and had accepted that fact, hoping that PMDG would rectify the situation in time.

Then I saw a video, in which I could see the ailerons moving (when in Flight) on the PMDG 737-800.

This encouraged me to research further, and I then read a comment, suggesting that you should set your weather (via the PMDG EFB) to SIM and not LIVE, in the PMDG 737 - 800. Not had the chance to try this yet, as I am away for a few days. 

To me, the aileron movement when in flight, and in weather that causes them to move, adds so much immersion.

So, I am just taking this opportunity to ask if any fellow simmer can add any further light on this subject, as I would love to be able to see the PMDG 737-800 ailerons moving when required to do so in choppy or turbulent weather. Maybe it is as simple as changing my weather setting in the PMDG 737-800 EFB?

apologies for bumping - just hoping that a fellow simmer maybe able to enlighten me over the weekend.
