This suggestion isn't meant for realism. Its purely for improving game entertainment.

Storms in the game currently aren't really anything concerning. All they really do is cause a lag spike and some deviation.
Only danger is when your trying to land in a hilly area in a storm.

My suggestion is to have "superstorms" spawn sometimes, these can be medium to large storms with EXTREME weather conditions that actually make it dangerous to fly into, and has more effective visuals (More lightning and hail). The waves in the sea in this storm area would also rise up and be more violent.

This would be quite fun for pilots to fly into. Weather hunting jobs would be intense. The wave activity would give sailors an arctic and North Atlantic kind of experience.

This would have an effect similar to what happens when an atc join the server - people flocking to that airport for a better time, which I consider peak aeronautica gameplay.

The only cons I think would be optimization issues during implementation, as storms are pretty laggy.
This is also not particularly realistic. But, a cool game feature instead.

Personally I think we leave storms alone

#

Lowering it people get pissed

#

Raising it people get pissed

cuz irl weather hunters use the C-130 for hurricanes

hurricane-force winds would be nice

#

Would be a simple change that’s still in line with this suggestion

If this ever gets added pls don’t add EVEN MORE billboard GUIs so they become extremely laggy

This suggestion would be cool to see!

first of all, isnt more dangerous/extreme weather denied, second of all, red storms already have 50kt winds at some places on surface level

i was terrified

on the high end you barely get cat 1 winds

#

100 knot winds when TROLOL

Red zones make landing harder, but not thrilling enough to fly in. Occasional lightning and heavy rains.
What I'm suggesting is to make it so that it's hard and thrilling to fly in. Extreme turbulence, wind shear etc.
Even if it pushes the boundaries of realism a bit to fit in the existing game mechanics

I approve this suggestion

max wind speed is imo too slow currently, real storms get much faster and with this game's physics it's already much easier than irl
