April 18Apr 18 For those using SU5 beta, how are the cloud turbulence improvements mentioned by Seb below, especially in live weather dangerous/stormy conditions? Video timestamped to when he started talking about overall airflow simulation improvements: https://youtu.be/UPHlS1Iu6ys?t=1228 Edited April 18Apr 18 by lwt1971 Len 1980s: Sublogic FS II on C64 ---> 1990s: Flight Unlimited I/II, MSFS 95/98 ---> 2000s/2010s: FS/X, P3D, XP ---> 2020+: MSFS Current system: i9 13900K, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 4800 RAM, 4TB NVMe SSD
April 18Apr 18 getting bad stutters every 10 seconds, not sure if that's a beta issue or if its on my end. Edit: They stopped after I restarted GSX Edited April 18Apr 18 by Tuskin38
April 18Apr 18 Author the big thing for me was the improvement in VR performance, but that's true with all the SU5 betas, not just this last one. And the default ATC has no new features, but it makes fewer mistakes. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

Video timestamped to when he started talking about overall airflow simulation improvements: https://youtu.be/UPHlS1Iu6ys?t=1228 I don't have a result yet, but I intend to test it starting circuits from airports with reported TS in the vicinity... and will report back.

April 18Apr 18 Ok @lwt1971, just tested but had to set the Cb myself using the weather menu because the search I did for airports with Cbs in the vicinity wasn't that satisfactory at that spot in time... I also enabled the new "thermal visualization" (ALT-T) Picked the TBM, and went flying near and across the Cbs and it surely feels a LOT better, much more activity, constant banking due to the updraft / downdraft currents, turbulence, etc... Feels a lot more realistic indeed ! Also visually.

Clouds having even a semi-realistic impact on airframe and planning would be a great addition, and move SU5 from a bit of a damp squib to worth waiting for for me.

Would love to know your experience in live weather and different cloud types (to the extent they’re there). Will continue to serach, but we know that variety is still something to come with further fine tuning. Also visibility, even at present where it is based on a "revolutionary" method, just like the one used for thermals, provides, IMO, very acceptable aproximations of the reported RVR and other METAR parameters for visibility.

Would you say when using similar manual preset weather with similar conditions and CBs in SU4 vs SU5 there is a discernible difference in SU5? Sounds like it 🙂 So as long as live weather is able to depict the right conditions we should be able to see more realistic impacts now. That, with weather radar tilt, and overall airflow and CFD physics improvements make SU5 a solid update.

April 19Apr 19 We need to do that test with an airliner. 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.

Sounds like it 🙂 For sure ! Also when enablig the up / down draft visualization it is very easy to see where the "trouble" will get bigger when you approach some areas of the cloud. The thermal model in convective clouds I didn't have the chance to study in detail, namely trying to find the downflows from the tops, that flow over the flanks of the cloud, but I will try to observe it more carefully when possible. Now I just look fwd for soaring weather and good weather Cu s where I can circle in thermals.
