Description
"RealTurb CAT Areas Global" extends the RealTurb effects to the Clear Air Turbulence (CAT)
Areas found around the world!
CAT areas are areas around the world, usually defined in the lateral (geographical position) and
vertical (altitude) plane with forecasted turbulence (issued as part of a SIGMET that pilots receive).
"RealTurb CAT Areas Global" constructs a 3D envelope of these real CAT areas worldwide, taking
also into account parameters like position of the aircraft into the envelope, trend of the forecasted
turbulence etc to calculate the turbulence effects. For example an aircraft being within the CAT area
but near the defined vertical edges will most likely encounter less severe turbulence compared to
being in the "core" of the CAT area. Similarly a CAT area with a weakening (WKN) trend will give
less severe turbulence compared to an area with intensifying (INTSF) trend etc.
With all these put together, "RealTurb CAT Areas Global" aims to simulate the weather behavior,
when the aircraft is flying into these areas thus increasing the immersion level to the simmer!
Features include:
- Global coverage of real world CAT areas
- Able to retrieve up to 15 days old worldwide CAT areas (Historic mode requires Activesky and
follows Activesky's date and time in historic mode)
- Realistic turbulence effects
- Realistic wind shifting effects (Requires Activesky)
- Easy installation and usage
- No user input/setup required for the effects to work. All is analyzed automatically!
- Compatible just with default Prepar3D v4/v5, however to get the best out of it,
Activesky is recommended.
- Compatible with any aircraft, being default or add-on
- Compatible with the rest of RealTurb effects packages (Requires RealTurb version 2.0 free
update)
Requirements
- Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v4.5+/v5.0+ with Simconnect
- ActiveSky (optional however strongly recommended in order to get the best out of
"RealTurb CAT Areas Global")
