I am back again, having to add something. When I looked at the METAR format I discovered that turbulences are not described, only gusts (like 80/30G20 = wind from 80 deg, 30 knots windspeed, gusts 20 knots). So I am not sure how it is handled within FlightGear. We have that "turbulence" slider in the weather menu and this value is not affected by the METAR data (as you checked) - but how are gusts handled within FlightGear? Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can acknowledge that "tubulence" and "gusts" are two different meteorological phenomenons and should treated different in the sim???
