A recently released a new app for airlines that takes the data of the pilots ipads (based on altitiude) and automatically inputs a dot or hex for real time turbulnce when they come across it in that location.
So for example. If the plane hits turbulence lets say at FL300 and the app notices it via the ipad due to the altitude loss (which for sim probably can just do via simconnect) it will automatically put the dot on the map and color cordinate it for intensity til it smooths out. This would be a great feature to add to charts for pilots as it would be real time than just EDR like in the current charts and Simbrief. Obviously, there would need to be something to filter out which weather is being used (preset, or live) and a filter option for certain altitudes.
i hope this gets look to be added into it?
THE APP IS CALLED SKYPATH! forgot it and finally found it. This would be awesome to have as a flight simulation.
Thank you for the suggestion. We have many requests for features and enhancements. We use the wishlist votes to gauge user interest. We base our development broadly taking these votes into consideration.
You have one vote for the suggestion. Lets see if others want the suggestion also.
THIS WOULD BE INCREDIBLE!! And it probably is doable based off of FSUIPC recognizing live time G-force changes enacting upon the aircraft live time in the sim!!
I would also luv this to be implemented. This will enhance not only my sim experience but a lot of other people. There is more than one airline that uses this that Im aware of (in the US) This with all the other things you guys have in the storage for the next update will be crazy to see come to life. I feel like the Navigraph app chart will be one step closer to WSI and Skypath.
Obviously they would need filters like lige traffic,
Preset mode
Msfs live weather
Asfs
Asp3d
Asxp
Unless anyone has a better way. Tbh it wouldnt even matter because like @pucksnplanes20 said it would be off g-force changes.
Navigraph has came a long way. I think if they stick up the way the real aviation world is going it will benefit them. I would take off EDR turbulence when they integrate this as the new WX SIG will show practically better info and is what i recently posted before this for WSI weather that covers EDR…
Now the major question is what weather programs data take to prosuce turbulence and goes off of?
Really interesting idea, I like it But as you say @ swaluver480 as there can be many sources for the weather it might be tricky to determine what is actually relevant for other users
Would have to upgrade simlink to recgonize what weather is being used by folks, have filters for those weather sources being used then the users on the charts end would select the weather filter to display the turbulence produced by that weather system.
This will also not only help pilots but weather developers as well to develop their products to be better as specific data may be overlooked for weather visual depictions vs all arpund data.
Even if you cant do it that way then have two filters one for altitude (with an ALL altitude button) and then one with intensity so you can filter out the turbulence reported. But if its by G-forces like i was corrected as i researched and found out i dont think its such a bad thing to have all turbulence reported regardless of which weather porgram you use. When you then fly over where that turbulence was reported and there is none then the system would change it to having a no turbulence marker or just erasing the turbulence marker.
This is extremely helpful because i may be one of the few simmers that want to avoid turbulent areas and or extreme turbulent areas if possible and right now its very hard to due to not having this information.
Hey Navigraph first off I wanna start off by saying thanks for all the things you guys have been fixing this past week its greatly appreciated, I know you guys are working hard for everything right now. This app was showcased by Bigern on youtube on one of his most recent videos. I thought I would show some of the screenshots of the app, so you guys can I have an Idea of how everything is based and works. You can also look up the app on YT and there is a older walkthrough of the app and how to utilize it. Do know that everything is color coded for turbulence and such.
