BillD22 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Hey guys: Here's a short little three and a half minute video clip that shows some of the realistic airframe, turbulence, and icing effects in FS2020. It's a wing view of an United Airlines A320 climbing up to FL360 in solid real world IMC weather enroute from Juneau (PAJN) to Anchorage (PANC) Alaska. The clip is at mid altitude in the climb where the airplane encounters some light wing flex turbulence, then more moderate passing thru some cloud tops, and then climbs into an icing layer with ice formation starting as patches on the underwing pylons and then with increasing accumulation on the top of the wing leading edge to the end of the clip (which is where I decided it would be a good idea to shift to the cockpit and turn on wing anti ice!). My take is turbulence has been improved since the second patch. I flew directly through Hurricane Sally last week without a single bump! See what you think Edited September 21, 2020 by BillD22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av8tor98 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Thanks for sharing the video, Bill. I am seriously liking the sim and all it can do. Even though I don't plan to get it until I have built a new system to handle it decently, I am lurking around the forum to see what improvements have been made over time.

Rupert Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Good clip Bill! Thanks so much. Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillD22 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 It sure does look incredible! :pilot: Thanks David - back in the day when I did a lot of business travel flying I often had this exact view from my seat and to my eye FS has pretty much nailed what it looks and feels like climbing thru solid and mixed overcast and clouds - especially bouncing around in the tops.

azzaro Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 All that wing needs is a Gremlin and true realism would be achieved. :) There I go showing my age again. :o -- Bob [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-7700 3.6GHz / GTX1660 6GB / 32GB RAM / 49" Samsung CHG90 / WIN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The icing sure is a realistic feature Bill. :pilot: Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent many trips from those seats. Watched the wings bounce around but never icing!
