Accu-Feel v2 Setup Question

Post by 1Wolf »

I've been following along in the information in various forums regarding Accu-Feel and Turbulence. Please correct the following assumptions if I'm wrong...

1) Accu-Feel does not create turbulence, it enhances already existing turbulence and portrays that.
2) If there is no turbulence present, Accu-Feel has nothing to enhance.
3) If there is no turbulence present, then a setting of 50 on the Accu-Feel global Turbulence slider will still give turbulence effects: (very roughly) 1 instance every 4 hours.
4) If there is no turbulence present, then a setting of 100 on the Accu-Feel gloval turbulence slider will still give turbulence effects: (very roughly) 1 instance every hour.

There is a setting on the Weather Panel of FSX that says something along the lines of "Disable Turbulence effects on Aircraft". The REX Weather Package Manual instructs the user to CHECK the "Disable Turbulence effects on Aircraft" because it can cause some issues with wind. The OpusFSX Weather Package does not state how to set this either way.

How should this checkbox in FSX be set so that Accu-Feel will take advantage of any turbulence encountered. Do you happen to know which weather packages actually inject turbulence into FSX that Accu-Feel will take advantage of and which do not?

Thanks!

Wolf,

One thing we try to avoid is having to start getting into other developers software, making exceptions for this, etc. So far, we've managed to accomplish this with minimal issues with 3rd party content.

During the development of the turbulence we monitored the wind in FSX, but opted to take this one step lower in the event a 3rd party weather program decides to disable this and move the aircraft in some other way (it seems, according to your post here, REX does in fact do this). So this is good news, as from Accu-Feel's point of view, it doesn't matter if the wind or some other means moves the airplanes. All that matters is the aircraft is in fact moved by turbulence.

So it appears that Accu-Feel would work the same with REX than stock FSX. You may find a need to use the global slider, which is why we put it there for turbulence.

Hi guys just downloaded and installed and am also confused about this.

Surely if you disable turbulence in FSX then Accufeel V2 will not display any turbulence effects when flying?

How does it know whether there is any turbulence or not?
