Turbulence

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Turbulence is fluid motion exhibiting chaotic changes in pressure and flow velocity, which affects aircraft.[1] By default, the severity of in-simulator turbulence is based on the weather.

Adjusting turbulence severity

In the launcher, click "Settings" and add --turbulence=n to the command line at the bottom. The n is the severity of turbulence, from 0 to 1:

  • none: 0
  • light: 0.33
  • moderate: 0.67
  • severe: 1

If you want to change the severity during flight, press / to open the property browser, navigate to /environment/config/presets/turbulence-magnitude-norm and edit the value, then ensure /environment/config/presets/turbulence-magnitude-norm-override is set to true.

If advanced weather is enabled, the severity can be adjusted via "Environment > Weather > Advanced Settings".
