The [[A local weather system |Local Weather]] package (for Flightgear 2.0.x and 2.4.x) or [[Weather#Advanced_Weather|Advanced Weather]] (2.6.x) has the option to automatically generate thermals along with the convective clouds<ref>The [[Weather#Advanced_configuration|Wiki entry]] has advanced details on configuration options</ref>. 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 [[Weather#Advanced_Weather|Advanced Weather]] (2.6.x) has the option to automatically generate thermals along with the convective clouds<ref>The [[Weather#Advanced_configuration|Wiki entry]] has advanced details on configuration options</ref>.
