In the absence of replies from people who know what they are talking about I’ll give you my tuppence worth. I’ve spent some time on a 6 axis 747-400 simulator, I noticed there were program settings for turbulence and wind shear. As I understand it pilots are regularly tested in simulators I guess there would be no point unless they accurately replicated extreme situations.
They still remain simulators though. Those winds and turbulence you so proudly mention are still simulated.
If simulations were so perfect PhineasC, how come the MetOffice still can't manage to simulate the weather to predict it with precise accuracy on their £33 million supercomputer ?
