Alessio75 3 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hi, it happened several times that I flew in a region with heavy turbolence (airplane strongly shaking) but the weather radar didn't show me. It was on, all in auto, and knob on wx+t. Dimming knob on maximum as well. Tilting manually down i was able to see the echo, so it seems working. Any thoughts about? Thanks I have v1.31, and use FSX sp2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessio75 3 Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hi, I realized that turbulence is shown on ND (magenta color) when it's also raining. But if I set a turbulence area alone by Fsx weather, it is not displayed on ND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessio75 3 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 So any comments? Can WX radar (RL and Aerosoft's) detect turbulence alone or just only when turbulence is associated with rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted October 4, 2019 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted October 4, 2019 In the end, the WXR is just a radar. So there must be some sort of particles in the turbulence that could return the radio waves. That could be precipitation, but also e.g. dust (from a certain particles size on). Without anything like that the radar can't pick turbulence up. More on that can be found here: http://www.smartcockpit.com/docs/Collins_WXR-2100_Operators_Guide.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessio75 3 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 I see! Thanks for your explanation and the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
