Turbulence setting in MSFS 2024

Featured Replies

Apologies if this has been asked before. I generally fly the PMDG 777 and Fenix A320 in 2024...what setting should turbulence be set at?

I read something online that the recommendation is LOW but I'm worried that won't give me any sensation of turbulence at all?

I normally fly GA, but I set mine to medium as high is too much compared to the real world.  For tubeliners that don't feel it so much, maybe high is OK but low is a bit like flying on rails.  I found this to be the case in both 2020 and 2024.

inibuilds has said to use low for aircraft using taking full advantage of CFD.

Low, using either only default or RealTurb appears to be consensual...

2024 = 100/90/100/200 and 1/0/95/85/ON

I use Low setting, not because I think it is a spot-on replication of real-world turbulence but because I find Medium and High to be far too exaggerated in the sim. High might be technically "realistic," but when you don't have a way to physically feel the sensations of air moving the aircraft around then those higher settings are diffcult to fly through. I would kind of like something in between Low and Medium if I had my druthers.

Granted I fly mainly GA and helicopters, so this might be different if you fly airliners. YMMV of course.

For GA I use low in MSFS and 60 in Active sky Turbulence effect. Seems pretty realistic.

Thanks, and what setting in the sim? "low" or "medium"?

Medium and wake turbulence and icing on
