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.
TAXI Navigation
Taxi Navigation System is a professional ground-navigation and taxi-speed assistant for Microsoft Flight Simulator, designed to reduce taxi workload, improve situational awareness, and help you move from gate to runway with confidence.

Taxi Navigation System is a professional ground-navigation and taxi-speed assistant for Microsoft Flight Simulator, designed to reduce taxi workload, improve situational awareness, and help you move from gate to runway with confidence.
Taxi Navigation System gives you fast, structured taxi route building with real-time airport data (Taxiways, Runways, Gates), one-click route insertion, runway auto-routing (beta), drag-and-drop route sequencing, and an integrated Taxi Cruise Control module with live speed monitoring and configurable protection logic.
Built for sim pilots who want a smoother, safer, and faster taxi experience in busy airports.
Instead of manually memorizing taxi instructions, you can create and manage your taxi route visually in seconds:
- Select from Taxiway / Runway / Gate lists
- Build route tags quickly with keyboard or one-click Add
- Reorder route points by drag-and-drop
- Push finalized route data directly into the native backend for in-sim use
It continuously syncs airport context and route outputs, helping you stay current while you taxi.
On top of navigation, Taxi Navigation System includes Taxi Cruise Control (TCC): a dedicated speed-management layer with real-time speed readout, adjustable limits/tolerance, selectable speed source (GPS vs IAS), and configurable throttle behavior.
The result is a complete taxi workflow: plan → route → monitor → control.
