That Weather in IL-2...

There simply is no other flightsim where winds and turbulence are so nicely and plausibly modelled like in IL-2 BoS / BoM!

 

After a "difficult" mission at one of the servers, where I didn't even guess where my shooters were coming  from, I decided
to go flying circuits under bad weather, rainy and windy Summer weather.

 

The QMB generated a few for me with the wind component near ground almost 90º from the right, and turbulence of 4m/s :-)

 

Whow!!! Simply unique! Nothing compares to this, even with the best weather injectors in FSX / P3D, DCS with the winds and turbulences set to the higher values. There's simply a vastly more immersive feel when flying trough rough weather in BoS.  The rain effects in Summer / Autumn also looks great!

The only thing that I miss in those conditions are droplets on the canopy...

Droplets dont last on canopies while flying.

What I miss is more bad weather on the online servers so that the invisible shooters get it more difficult lining up their perfect aims:p

The mission I was talking about had superb cloud cover. The skies were actually covered with cloud streets, something I know and use a lot IRL flying ( gliders ). It's mazing how those cloud streets are actually represented in the sim, and they made sense because there was wind in the mission ( of course I didn't check it was rotating 90º in altitude to explain the cloud streets as IRL, which I doubt is actually being accounted for, but anyway, it was simply astounding... )

 

I would just like to be able to set surface temperature in the QMB too to simulate, for instance, really hot Summer days.

As an avid weather watcher I simply love the weather system modelling that they have done in this sim. It may not be true weather modelling but I don't think that's as important as they have done the practical effects on the aircraft. The turbulence, the winds shifting and getting stronger, and I love the way if all looks. The cloud decks and the rain is excellent. The snow effect is maybe the least convincing... But on the whole it's great!

I especially appreciate the modelling of turbulence since I have the Buttkicker.  I never noticed any sound associated with turbulence before, but with the BK you can feel a subtle bouncing when you pass through clouds.  Very nice!

My neighbors wouldn't appreciate the idea :-)

That was a nice recording on how to make your own.

How does one go about connecting it to the PC?

you need a small amplifier and you have to connect it to the woofer jack
