Hi,
I have noticed, too, an exaggerated effect of the thermals in FSX. They
can be disabled in the settings, but at the same time the turbulences
are gone too. I liked the turbulences...
It happened to me at several airports; the one that I have experimented
most with it is Sabadell (LELL), a little airfield near my home. Try to
land on it with thermals on... remember it's a short runway.
There will be a form to tune it??
--Luis
P.S. Sorry for my English |

This may a function of the wind direction and strength. I don't know what
the prevailing direction may be in that area, but with a 310 degree wind at
9 knots, I was able to sink onto both 8 and 26 without too much trouble.
The approach over town looked a little more scarey, but the guages all read
nominal for both approach speed and sink rate.
On another hand, I have noticed some vertical winds around vertical ground
in FSX, but it looks like Boulder might be a liitle far onto the flat for
that 'mountain' effect. Maybe some of the glider enthusiasts can comment
about whether dark ground or plowed fields are more likely to have
thermals...

You don't say which aircraft, it could be just rotten piloting LOL
