Wind
- Thread starter Uber Noob
- Start date
I don't think we will ever turn wind on by default. It would provide a more realistic experience out of the box, but we would be inundated by complaints about how the models are acting all funny.
We could also delay sounds to simulate for the distance they have to travel from the source to the listener, for example. That would be more realistic, but people would only perceive it as a bug. There are a some situations where greater realism is actually undesirable.

There is a file that you need to modify to accomplish adding wind each time you start RealFlight;
C:\Users\(your user name)\Documents\RealFlight 7\Scripts\startup.rfscript
The file is a text file that can be opened in windows notepad.
type a new line into the file: (or all three of the following lines)
windspeed 5 (sets windspeed to 5mph)
winddirection 90 (sets the wind direction to 90degrees you will have to look at a wind sock to see it)
windturbulence 20 (sets wind turbulence to 20 percent)
Save the startup script file and restart Real Flight. Check to make sure .TXT has not been appended to the file name.
There are other startup commands (same as console commands) that can be entered into the startup script. You can type help in the console to see all available commands. To open the console, press the ~ key.
