The [[A local weather system |Local Weather]] package (for Flightgear 2.0.x and 2.4.x) or Advanced Weather (2.6.x) has the option to automatically generate thermals along with the convective clouds. For this, the checkbox 'generate thermals' has to be selected. The slider 'thermal properties' modifies the behaviour of the thermals - for 'low convection' it will generate little turbulence, thermals with a large radius and only modest lift, for 'rough day' it will generate strong lift and turbulence in narrow thermals. | The [[A local weather system |Local Weather]] package (for Flightgear 2.0.x and 2.4.x) or Advanced Weather (2.6.x) has the option to automatically generate thermals along with the convective clouds.
