Introducing "Real Effects Plus" - The ultimate effects package for both inside and outside of the cockpit. Effects that compliment any style of simmer, Real Effects Plus is sure to impress. There are no "On/Off" effects, each effect has been programmed with many different variables that cause a reaction under varying aerodynamic and atmospheric conditions. Created by a real pilot that has over 2,000 hours in multiengine jet aircraft, this add-on draws from real-world aviation experience.
Cockpit Effects:
-Saint Elmo's Fire (Windscreen Static): Replicating the dangers of flying near thunderstorms, this beautiful display of static electricity flashing on your cockpit windows is a sight to be seen.
-Windscreen Bug Splatter: Yes, we did! Why bug splatter? Because bug splatter is a real, and real pilots have to squint through a dirty windscreen every time they fly. Ever tried to see a narrow runway with the setting sun blasting the bug smashed windscreen? Go ahead, airplanes are nicknamed "Bug Smashers" for good reason. Flying insects are most active in warm temperatures around sunset, you'll certainly see more bug splatter on your windscreen then.
Engine Effects:
-Engine Intake Vortices: Reactive to engine power, humidity, airspeed, temperature, air density, and surface moisture. When the conditions are right, these miniature tornados are spectacular to watch as they pour into the engine.
-Engine Intake Condensation: Reactive to engine power, humidity, airspeed, temperature, air density, and altitude.
-Jet Blast: Reactive to your engine speed. Jet engines are powerful, contaminated surfaces (water and snow) bring this power to light.
-Reverse Thrust: On a wet or snowy runway, watch as thrust is rapidly switched directions when your engine enters reverse thrust.
-Engine Fires: Set through your MSFS Aircraft Failure Customization menu. When is the last time you had to land single engine?
-Contrails: Out with the old, in with the new. Say goodbye to the default contrails. Our contrails depict the rotating wake turbulence behind an aircraft, and they look great.
-Engine and APU Startup Smoke: Jet engine starts nearly always produce smoke during startup. Excess fuel is sprayed into the engine during the ignition stage, and it comes out of the exhaust as smoke.
-Engine and APU Cold Starts: When the environment is cold enough, aircraft require cold weather startup procedures to prevent engine damage. Marvel at your engine and APU startup exhaust with this effect.
Airframe Effects:
-Wing Condensation: Reactive to aircraft pitch, humidity, airspeed, temperature, air density, and altitude. High pressure below the wing to the low pressure above the wing is visually stunning when the conditions are right.
-Flap Trailing Vortices: Reactive to flap angle, aircraft pitch, humidity, airspeed, temperature, air density, and altitude. No, this is not a fuel leak, it is aerodynamics at work. These trails of moisture look even better from an aircraft cabin window.
-Brake Smoke: If your brakes are smoking, you've got hot brakes. A heavy aircraft, hard braking, and hot temperatures will cause this.
-Volumetric Landing Lights: Too dark to see if you're in a cloud while flying? Turn on your landing lights. If you see your light beams illuminating the cloud, you've found your answer. Real pilots do this routinely, especially when concerned about icing. Default MSFS landing lights will not do this, but our effect will.
-Tail Strike, Wingtip Strike, Engine Nacelle Strike: Gusty crosswinds are a recipe for a wingtip or nacelle strike. Watch your landing attitude, don't strike the tail! A plane spotter will see the effects of your aluminum scraping, thanks to this effect.
-Fuel Vent Dripping: Airplane fuel systems all have vents. Warm temperature causes fuel to expand. If your fuel tanks are full and they warm up in the heat, fuel is going overboard. There's plenty of airport ramp stains to prove this. This effect does this, though it does not come with a fuel spill cleanup kit.

Real Turbulence System
Real-Turbulence-System — Hear turbulence sound engine
THE ATMOSPHERIC ENGINE
Wind-Linked Detection, Not Flight-Control Noise: Real Turbulence reads live ambient wind shear, aircraft wind on the airframe, cloud and terrain context, and MSFS turbulence data — not body-relative wind that spikes when you pitch or bank. Encounters follow the atmosphere, not your stick inputs.

THE ATMOSPHERIC ENGINE
Wind-Linked Detection, Not Flight-Control Noise: Real Turbulence reads live ambient wind shear, aircraft wind on the airframe, cloud and terrain context, and MSFS turbulence data — not body-relative wind that spikes when you pitch or bank. Encounters follow the atmosphere, not your stick inputs.
Felt Stress & Atmospheric TI: Two separate metrics show what the sky is doing versus what the cabin actually feels. Atmospheric Intensity tracks environmental turbulence; Felt Stress (0–100%) builds only when real wind disturbance is present and pilot maneuver dampening is not active.
Intelligent Air Mass Analysis: Beyond a single wind read, the engine evaluates 3D shear, aircraft wind deltas, cloud density, terrain, and altitude to classify what you are flying through:
- Convective (In-Cloud): Updrafts and downdrafts when penetrating storm cells.
- Orographic (Mountain Wave): Mechanical turbulence and rotors over rugged terrain.
- Clear Air Turbulence (CAT): Sudden jolts in strong winds aloft.
- Gust Factor: Short spikes above a 10-second wind baseline register as gusts without permanent false alarms.
Ground Kill-Switch: On the ground and at low altitude above the runway, encounters stay suppressed — no turbulence alerts while taxiing.
DYNAMIC ACOUSTIC STRESS
Powered by a thread-safe, severity-aware audio engine — not a single static loop at one volume.
Multi-Layer Crossfading: Structural layers blend with normalized gain so combined volume stays controlled; random loop start points reduce repetitive “seam” artifacts.
Smoother, Severity-Aware Playback: Per-block gain smoothing, quiet Light chop, louder Moderate and Severe bands, and ~1. 5 s fade-out when an encounter ends instead of an instant cut.
Real-Time Low-Pass Filtering: Light turbulence stays muffled and deep in the airframe; severe encounters open the filter for sharper structural thumps.
Calm Air, True Silence: When Atmospheric TI and Felt Stress sit in the Smooth band, the cabin stays silent — no background hiss in dead calm.
ENGINEERING TELEMETRY DASHBOARD
RTS ships with a cockpit UI built for the 1. 1. 0 physics model.
Split Turbulence Metrics: Monitor Atmospheric TI (environment) and Felt Stress (wind-linked cabin disturbance) side by side, with wind and rotation readouts and severity color bands (Smooth → Light → Moderate → Severe).
Physics Signature Chart: Live traces separate Rotational motion, A/C Wind delta, and Air Mass shear so you can see which signal is driving the encounter.
Aircraft Characteristics Panel: Rotational stress, live aircraft wind stress, and a Maneuver Dampening badge when pilot-input suppression is active.
Encounter Status: Clear LIGHT / MODERATE / SEVERE labels with hysteresis and cooldown for stable on/off behavior — plus meteorological context for what you are flying through.
Compatibility: MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. Works with default aircraft and high-end third-party addons. SimConnect telemetry is requested efficiently once per subscription for stable, low-overhead updates.

"RealTurb CAT Areas Global for MSFS v2" incorporates a new logic for enroute turbulence (CAT) compared to the previous version, while adding support to terrain and in-cloud turbulence!
Enroute turbulence, is not linked and limited to SIGMET's CAT or TS areas in this version 2 of RealTurb CAT Areas Global for MSFS! Instead the actual wind in the simulator, at the aircraft's position, is analyzed for any wind shifts / variations thus inducing the turbulence effects to more realistic positions (eg. where wind direction and / or speed changes). This allows to open the envelope to a global level instead of being limited to SIGMET's CAT or TS areas!
Terrain turbulence feature is also added in this version, extending the RealTurb turbulence effects also to lower altitudes, when flying near terrain (with wind blowing from the terrain direction).
An approach with wind direction being from the terrain side will now feel different compared to the approach with wind direction being from the sea or relatively flat ground.
In-Cloud turbulence is another feature, which analyzes cloud density when flying into clouds, to provide dynamic turbulence effects. In this way, a certain cloud density is required for the effects to be present in the first place, allowing also for dynamic effects strength, again based on the cloud density.
Features include:
- Global coverage
- Turbulence effects based on wind vs terrain analysis, cloud density, wind variations and speed.
- Realistic (custom made) turbulence effects
- Custom made turbulence sounds (linked to aircraft's G Load)
- Easy installation and usage (Just install and forget - RealTurb will auto load when the simulator starts)
- No user input/setup required for the effects to work. All is analyzed automatically!
- Settings Dialog to control effects strength / altitude envelope / sounds / sounds G-Load thresholds,
if the user wants to change default values.
- Option for parameters to be saved as aircraft title specific.
You can also try the demo version of "RealTurb CAT Areas Global for MSFS v2", before purchase, which offers a fully functional product for 10 days after installation. Click here to download the demo version installer.
Realturb Pilot Monitoring For A32nx
RealTurb Pilot Monitoring for FlyByWire A32NX, as it stands by the name, is an application that simulates
the pilot monitoring (PM), during the flight, using voice commands through voice recognition, for FlyByWire A32NX.
The two main objectives this add-on aims to deliver, are realism and simplicity!
Things like text commands, in sim windows and panels, having to interact with the application constantly

the pilot monitoring (PM), during the flight, using voice commands through voice recognition, for FlyByWire A32NX.
The two main objectives this add-on aims to deliver, are realism and simplicity!
Things like text commands, in sim windows and panels, having to interact with the application constantly
during flight, complex application settings to configure, are a few examples that compromise the main
objectives and are avoided!
The application is subdivided to:
User Interface (UI)
A simple yet powerful UI that allows:
- Quick configuration of the application (settings stored in an ini file to be retained in subsequent
application runs)
- Available commands dropdown list for quick access (Printer friendly version included in the manual)
- Application's simulator and aircraft connection status
- Detected commands and values monitoring (available also without the simulator running for most
commands)
Voice commands through voice recognition
Request from PM to:
- Perform actions (eg. Flaps, gear, buttons, knobs, switches, select autopilot values and modes etc. )
- Perform flight phase related tasks (eg. Set baro reference to standard, select go around flaps etc. )
- Read the checklists
Having it's own intelligence, it will challenge the request if it's not relevant, appropriate or within limits
and also for checklist cases, it will ask for a confirmation if replied values or switch positions etc,
are in disagreement to the actual value/position.
Flight phase related flows
PM will perform the flows relating to each flight phase after the appropriate triggering condition.
(eg. After start flow, taxi flow, line up flow, FL100 checks etc. )
Parameters monitoring and callouts
PM constantly monitors the aircraft parameters and provides appropriate callouts both for normal
operation and exceedances. Also during approach it will analyze parameters individually (for individual
callouts like speed, bank, pitch, sink rate etc. ) but also multiple parameters together to undestand the
situation and even call for go around if approach is unstable.
Pushback
Call ground when ready for pushback and simply inform them about the pushback facing direction!
(ie. Clear for push facing North/South/East/West). No need to draw the pushback path or provide numeric
data like pushback distance, pushback heading etc. The pushback algorithm reads data from the scenery
automatically and tries to identify the taxiway position and orientation behind the stand to push the
aircraft there!
In case of no valid taxiway data is received from the scenery or there are taxiways behind the
stand which makes identification of the appropritate position to pushback to, more difficult, the pushback
feature is still available and the algorithm will do it's best to push the aircraft to the position and orientation
as close as possible to the correct one.
RealTurb Pilot Monitoring for FBWA32NX is also compatible with the development version of FBW A32NX!
You can also download, the demo version which offers a fully functional product for 10 days (after installation)
and test before purchase! Click HERE to download the demo version!
NOT FOR REAL WORLD USE! FOR ENTERTAINMENT USE ONLY!
Realvolmet Europe V2
Most airports can provide their weather reports on assigned frequencies, what is known as Automatic
Terminal Information Service (ATIS). This weather information is usually bound to a frequency per
airport.
To a larger extend, similar to ATIS, there are other stations (ranging from none to 1 or 2 per country),
that are known as VolMet stations. VolMet stations, contrary to ATIS, do not include just one airport on
their frequency but instead they give weather report/informatio... Most airports can provide their weather reports on assigned frequencies, what is known as Automatic
Terminal Information Service (ATIS). This weather information is usually bound to a frequency per
airport.
To a larger extend, similar to ATIS, there are other stations (ranging from none to 1 or 2 per country),
that are known as VolMet stations. VolMet stations, contrary to ATIS, do not include just one airport on
their frequency but instead they give weather report/information/trend for a number of (major/important)
airports in the VolMet station's vicinity. These VolMet stations exist in real life, for many years now,
(being the most common source for obtaining weather information for enroute airports, destination etc,
before ACARS and for aircrafts without ACARS) but missing from the simulator.
"RealVolMet Europe v2" package, aims at raising the immersion level during your flights, by including
European VHF VolMet stations, with their correct, real life naming, frequency, airports in each station
etc, but most importantly, weather reports are NOT fake/random just to give the immersion, they
actually provide the real weather report! Simply tune the station's frequency on the aircraft's comms and
listen to the VolMet report!
Incorporating a very powerful, custom made, metar decoder, able to decode, airport, time, wind, wind
variability, visibility, directional visibility, runway visual range reports, all possible weather conditions,
clouds, temperature, dewpoint, pressure along with any supplementary information and any trends

SayAgain: replay the last ATC transmission on VATSIM & IVAO
Missed a clearance? On a busy VATSIM or IVAO frequency, ATC reads back fast and you usually only get it once. SayAgain captures your radio audio and instantly replays the last complete transmission on a hotkey, so you don't have to ask "say again?".

Missed a clearance? On a busy VATSIM or IVAO frequency, ATC reads back fast and you usually only get it once. SayAgain captures your radio audio and instantly replays the last complete transmission on a hotkey, so you don't have to ask "say again?".
What it does
SayAgain runs quietly in the background and listens to the audio from your radio client (vPilot, TrackAudio, xPilot, or any app you choose). It detects where one transmission ends and the next begins, keeps the most recent complete transmission ready, and plays it back the moment you press your assigned key. Capture and playback happen entirely on your PC. Nothing is recorded to the cloud or uploaded anywhere.
Key features
- Instant replay of the last complete ATC transmission, on a hotkey (works with all peripherals).
- Works with any radio client: vPilot, TrackAudio, xPilot, and more.
- Auto-start: begins capturing the moment your selected app launches, so it is always ready when you are.
- Smart transmission detection: records each transmission at the right boundary, so you replay one clean call.
- Configurable silence detection: lets you tune sensitivity and timing to your own audio setup.
- Lightweight and unobtrusive: set it once and forget it.
- One-time purchase, lifetime access. No subscription.
How it works
Pick the app you want to listen to, set your replay hotkey, and fly. When you miss something, tap the hotkey to hear the last transmission again. If your audio setup needs it, adjust the silence threshold and timing in settings. It works for controllers too: replay a pilot's last readback in a second.
