I agree, as a user, that we do not want the default setting to be zero. I am an advocate of realism.
The FG windows gui, in weather --> weather conditions allows one to set the turb to zero with sliders. Setting them to zero does not in fact set turb to zero, at least with my recent build of FG OSG. That would be a bug (in OSG version) & should be fixed. A user can, as indicated earlier in this thread, set turb to zero on the command line. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
