Turbulence

Featured Replies

Has anyone found a way to turn turbulence up or make them exist at all? Both 20/24 need to up the game with these effects, I recently flew and it seemed like all the pilot did was chase a smooth ride for the passengers, way too calm in the sim. Any help would be great. 

 

Thank you,

Anthony

Which airplane are you using, and what’s your turbulence setting in the simulator? It's hard to evaluate without more information.

RealTurb CAT areas and Active sky is a good pairing for turbulence

Ditto.  Set in game turbulence to its lowest value and adjust the turbulence scale in Active Sky to your liking - 60 to 80 seems to work best. But getting in cloud turbulence is still an issue for me.  The Active Sky setting for in cloud turbulence has no noticeable effect even maxed out at 100.  This worked in P3D with Active Sky and EZCA.

Yes, I've noticed that cloud turbulence rarely occurs...

But I can't wait for Chaseplane to come out, because it's mainly the camera that isn't very realistic during turbulence.

I'm using RealTurb in MS2024 (SU2 Beta), with in-game turbulence set low, and get good results, both in clear air and clouds. 

I don't think it matters what your ingame turbulence settings are, as RealTurb takes over the turbulence effects. I could be wrong though 🙂

While testing MSFS 2024, the default setting of MEDIUM was more than enough turbulence for me.

Some info here: 

So it looks like RealTurb and in the in game setting do run together to some extent

Didn't know that. Thank you 🙂

I wonder why such information is not in the manual.

Thank you all for the info. I will pick up the programs and give them a try. I mostly fly airlines so turbulence will be a welcome addon.

Unfortunately, the way FS 2024 models in-cloud turbulence leaves a lot to be desired, after the initial months after FS 2020 was released.

Active Sky and Real Turb can help in this particular area though.

I like MSFS 2024 set on realistic to replicate videos like this below, otherwise it can feel a little tame at times.  I like the effects of Activesky and Realturb also

I see quite a few using both ASFS and realturb together. I do own ASFS but haven’t got it installed as I ended up using real world weather in MSFS as I didn’t like the active weather depiction mode. If I install realturb, is there any added benefit of using ASFS in passive mode?

Best regards,

It's been released for FS2020, and it works great with ASFS!
