Thanks Paul. That makes sense. The original post says to check that box. Still a little confused.

So was I but Jim from HiFi told me it doesn't need checked and I can't go back and make any changes to the original post.

Oh great. Thanks,

Hi, You don't have that box checked.

So with this config we get even less turbulence than with config for MD11? Am I right?

I am using the current and same config with all my PMDG planes. 737-NGX, MD-11X, 747-400X

Ok, but that was not my question. For example, until now, I used those settings for MD11, 747, J41: FSXTurbulenceScale=1.000000 FSUIPCTurbulenceRate=1.0,5.0TurbulenceDivisor=20,20,40,40 without S-turns! Your settings divide those settings in half. My question was, do we get half less turbulence with your settings?

I'm just trying to understand this...

i am also keen to understand why FSX winds aloft is checked if ASE performs this function

Un tick it Wayne, only needed using FSX weather

thanks

That is a good question for Jim Skorna at Hi-Fi. I am not sure to what actual degree it affects the turbulence. In any case those are not my settings, they are the recommended settings in the ASE documenation. Most people that have tried the settings have been happy with them. The only people that don't like the settings are the ones that wanna get bounced and smacked around in the cockpit everytime they run into a thunderstorm. The basic fact is that FSX turbulence is totally unrealistic anyway so there is really no point in worrying about it. Having your plane bouncing around and the wings ready to snap off like in FS9 is totally unrealistic and some people just got used to that thinking that is normal behavior in the real world and it is not. Only in the most extreme situations would it happen to that degree, and if it did the wings would probably snap off. Maybe in X-plane 10 or Microsoft Flight they will be able to model turbulence that is more realistic.

Thanks!Of course, if anybody knows the answer.. I'd like to hear it!

Hm, nobody?

Eeeeeek! My head hurts! Mega confused now. There are so many small changes now. Paul, would you consider reposting to 'sumerise' everything into a single post?
