Turbulence Injector

Real-world weather-driven turbulence for Microsoft Flight Simulator

Turbulence Injector enhances flight realism by dynamically introducing turbulence based on real atmospheric conditions rather than random effects. The goal is to make turbulence feel realistic — just like in real-world aviation.

What It Simulates

Cloud-based turbulence
Detects cloud density and injects light to moderate turbulence when flying in and around convective or dense cloud formations.
AIRMET & SIGMET turbulence
Uses published aviation weather data to apply turbulence in regions affected by reported moderate, severe, or clear-air turbulence.
Clear Air Turbulence (CAT)
Simulates high-altitude turbulence outside of visible weather, driven by real SIGMET data rather than randomness.

How It Works

The injector continuously evaluates aircraft position, altitude, weather data, and active turbulence advisories. When conditions are met, it applies controlled velocity and rotational disturbances to the aircraft.

Effects are:

Intensity-scaled based on reported severity
Smoothed to avoid unrealistic jolts or constant shaking
Applied only when environmental conditions justify them
