The long anticipated "RealTurb Europe" package is now released, being the pre-final package before reaching (with the rest of RealTurb packages) a worldwide coverage with RealTurb effects!
"RealTurb Europe" covers the whole European continent with the RealTurb effects (see coverage map in screenshots section)!
A complete terrain analysis is done, inducing the appropriate effects, which are not limited to the terrain in the vicinity of the airports! Instead every single hill/mountain/terrain within the continent of Europe, is analyzed in terms of aircraft position and prevailing winds, inducing dynamically the expected real world effects of turbulence, wind shifts, speed fluctuations and windshear, into a dynamically created lateral and vertical envelope to match real life behavior.
And all this is done automatically without any user input required, raising the immersion to the top level!
Now, just like in real life, every take off / approach will feel different depending on the weather conditions! Wind coming from the sea or from flat land area, will be much less demanding compared to wind coming from a hill or mountainous area.
From RealTurb Europe v1.6+ Thermals and Ridge lift is also simulated, offering a realistic soaring effect to glider pilots!
Thermal effects (Requires Activesky for Prepar3D v4.4 / v4.5 +)
Ridge lift effects (Requires Activesky for Prepar3D v4.4 / v4.5 +)
Altitude/effects intensity envelope dynamically and realistically calculated based on surrounding terrain.
Complete coverage of the continent of Europe (see coverage map at the screenshots section) with every single hill/mountain analyzed.
Easy installation
No user input/setup required for the effects to work. All is analyzed automatically!
No performance impact.
Compatible just with default Prepar3D v4.4 / v4.5 +, however to get the best out of it,
Activesky for Prepar3D v4.4 / v4.5 + is recommended.
Compatible with any aircraft, being default or add-on.
Supported Prepar3D version is v4.4 / v4.5 + even though it should work without any issues on any v4.0+ version.
NOTE: "RealTurb Greek Airports" and "RealTurb Summer Destinations" must be uninstalled before installing "RealTurb Europe", as they are also included in this package.
For more information on RealTurb effects, you can also visit any other RealTurb product page, found here and/or you can also try the FREE "RealTurb Africa and Antarctica" package here, which offers a complete coverage with RealTurb effects for the continents of Africa and Antarctica!
And all these without any limitations on features or time usage!
To make this happen the products must be purchased at the same time under the same order number! No Exceptions, No Refunds!
Requirements
Hardware:
There are no additional system requirements to run "RealTurb Europe" other than the ones required to run Prepar3D v4.4 / v4.5 + and/or the ones required to run your add-ons.
Software:
- Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v4.4 / v4.5+ or Prepar3D v5.0+ with Simconnect required
- ActiveSky for Prepar3D v4.4 / v4.5+ or Prepar3D v5.0+ (optional however strongly recommended in order to get the best out of "RealTurb Europe")
I can't believe I only discover this now, after many years of simulation. This is a must have! Can't fly without it. It adds so much realism. It feels like you flying the real thing. Took the whole bundle, msfs can wait a bit longer.
Fügt dem Simulator deutlich mehr Realismus hinzu. Man kann durch die realistischen kleinen Turbulenzen förmlich "spüren" wie das Flugzeug in der Luft liegt. Außerdem verändern die simulierten Auf- und Abwinde an z.B. Küsten Anflüge auf Inselflughäfen deutlich und machen viel mehr Spaß dadurch. Lohnt sich sowohl für Kleinflugzeug- wie auch für Großraumjet-Piloten.
Kann das Produkt daher ohne Vorbehalte empfehlen!
Works as advertised! Before this addon, aircraft felt like it was flying on rails, even in poor conditions. This adds that bit that was missing!
Install was easy, just install and forget about it.
A lovely addon to enhance your flying experience.
I flew flight simulators since 2009 and the first thing I found to be really different when starting to fly real airliners was the feeling of flying was totally different.
Turbulence effects were one of these points.
RealTurb adds a lot of these effects into flight simulation.
Flying an approach to Edinburgh with the winds coming over the hills is finally no longer as simple as flying a wind calm cavok day as it used to be, even with Active Sky. Now you have to work to get that aircraft on the ground, even if it is a 60t 737 and not just a 1,1t Cessna.
Flying around the Canaries in the ATR also became a lot more fun than it used to be!
Another huge plus point is the discount you get if you previously owned RealTurb Holiday Airports or Greek Islands.
I never expected such a discount so I am very positively surprised.
As a last word to the developer: Thubs up, you're doing an excellent job! Five stars!
Another excellent realturb addon. Unlike AS which is overpowering and generates completely unlife like turbulence real turb gives you excellent results based off wind directions with hills etc generating very real feeling effects.
Very imprressed with the real turb packages and the feel of flying approaches on the leee side of mountains and the mechanical turb effects.
If your tired of AS just generating bizarre over powering turbulence and windshear warnings on days when there would be none this is a fabulous addon.
