Unrealistic turbulence effects

[VF31_Subsonic]

hmmm seems like there is an odd multiplier going on...4m/s is essentially 8 knots...but in what direction at what variance. I mean 8 knots is not insignificant but then it is not drastic. It could be significant if the modeling has the direction changing frequently....I need to try that mission tonight...sounds like fun!

Just to say thanks for your attention and help on this topic!

windshear is modelled, so if you have not enough speed, the plane can sink even due to the cross-wind (velocity triangle).

hi ethereal (love the monty python sig BTW!)

 

My upload space is pretty much used up (way too small here)

 

How about i attach the .miz? its a hot pit so you can try it out quickly...taxi out to the runway, takeoff, turn around, touch & Go, then turn around and land... Blamo... blown tires

odd....can't get that linked file to run on 1.1.0.7. I try to select it and it just pops back to main menu screen...not the one above but the one linked in the other thread

[jeffyd123]

if its a .trk file its a replay track and not a mission (.miz) file

[VF31_Subsonic]

uhhh not the link in page one goes to another thread with a miz file in it

[nomdeplume]

if its a .trk file its a replay track and not a mission (.miz) file

The .trk is just the mission file with some additional data (input recordings). You can rename a .trk to .miz and use it just like a mission file. Just FYI. Can be handy sometimes.

I can confirm the ground turbulence with dynamic weather.

The other day I had three dramatic takeoffs in 15-20 degrees offside wind. Shouldn't be a problem I tought but at 80 knots the A10 made a sudden jolt to the side and almost stood on its nose. Managed to take off at stall speed and a blown tyre. The next two were nearly the same. After several tries of the weather randomizer button in the mission editor I managed to get a almost flyable conditions. Throughout the flight below 500 feet the turbulence was also severe. The attack run with the cannon had to be with 20-30 degrees nose offside the target. Weird...

Last night I tried to set the mission up how I originally had it, but couldnt replicate the extreme turbulence that it had. I am starting to think that I might have misinterpreted the wind arrows in the mission editor, and it was in fact set for quite strong. However the wind did definately appear a lot stronger and a lot more turbulent that would seem reasoneable for 3m/s wind. I tried the cross wind landing mission, linked earlier in the thread. One thing I noticed is the tower reports 2m/s from 130, and clears you to land on runway 30, so that doesnt help.. Again the wind seems stronger and more turbulent than I would like for such a low reported wind.

 

I love the concept of dynamic weather though, and that there is turbulence and windshear- Brilliant! I just think it might need to be toned down a bit at low level or that there might be a mismatch between what the weather briefing / tower is telling us and what is actually created.

 

I got it down ok with only 1 burst, but not that proud of my attempts so not desperate to post a track!

Wuss. :D

Alright then, only fair I spose...

 

I decided to land on the into wind runway in the end, according to the tower anyways.

Hey EtherealN,

I know this is a little old, but my squad is running a mission with dynamic weather, winter settings... and we're having the same issues as in these tracks (blown tires regardless of how soft we land). Is the tire pressure off? Can we kick some CC's butt, maybe old tires being used?

Is there a setting maybe to adjust the possibility of a tire pop, or something that is being changed in the update?
