hello community flight simulator

[Jonbalmon]

I am working on a flight simulator as realistic as possible but I do not know how to make the wind and rain or any other climatological condition affect the aircraft I would like your help please

Very welcome to this forum. I’m a user and I’m also making a flight simulator as realistic as possible. And probably there are other 3 more. The question is so big that I need to resume and here is my way:

[WIP] Soaring Stars Lab: Flight Soaring Simulator

Yes, I have thought for decades how to implement it. Here are some of the ideas In draft: I recorded the wind sound noise in the city, flat countryside and sea at 1 meter (Different wind intensity). I use that recording stereo audio as a random wind speed and direction generator. The direction is made by the stereo and the intensity by the volume and frequency. This gives me a nice starting real-time parameter that I loop it over time. The atmosphere has a curve value multiplier in function of …

But to resume you must think like in real life. The aircraft can be move buy PhysX forces and is moving inside the local wind. So you need to create the local wind first and you need to put a PhysX component into the airplane game object. You can use particles to give the impression of the rain. And there are a lot of tools in the asset store that can help you in the process.
