You're not thinking of this setting, are you?
Also, keep in mind that if on PC, you can increase the turbulence and wind strength beyond what can be set in the menu. You'll have to edit the main.mcf file
Now that we are talking "Turbulence", what is the exact effect in the sim? I mean, we all know what Turbulence is, but how does this play out in AeroFly? Do we notice any difference in the flight dynamics? Is it only during departure / arrival or mainly in cruise?

Although there's a turbulence setting in the Settings section, it's a useless setting. Because increasing that setting will cause constant turbulence. It will always have to be adjusted manually. This is ridiculous. They still haven't brought any real weather conditions to this simulation. Keep using those junk planes, you iPACS teams!

Effect in the sim is patchy turbulence, Windshear on approach, and departure (up to 15 knots fluctuation at max settings), and maxing out thermals gives some interesting results. Have a read of the 777 crash in Dubai due to thermals, makes you appreciate it more in the sim - Emirates Flight 521
My only rule is to add a few extra knots to Vref on approach if this software is reading heavy turbulence from the metar file Wettergerät v1.7.0
Next big update really needs to be built in real weather, though. I'm surprised the sim has been around this long without such a basic feature. Or, at least give us modders a way to implement weather changes beyond just adjusting visibility.

I see. I’m aware of Emirates 521, that was an unfortunate event indeed.
From my old FS9 days, (2012-2020) i always used Real Weather, first with FS Global Real Weather, and in the last years with Active Sky Evolution. Winds aloft, real turbulence, windshifts, thermals, rain, snow, various levels of visibility, thunder, CB’s… it was all generated by the tool itself, with highly accurate weather systems and winds and constant updates from realworld data. (With changes every 2-3 minutes in most cases)
I’m deeply saddened that this simming platform, and specially FS 4, has had so many updates, so many revisions, so many changes and yet, all the newer versions come with are new liveries, new aircraft but do not take a serious approach in simulating realweather nor adding an option to inject regular enroute weather. It’s such a pity that instead of clear and concise results on this matter, all these requests are entirely ignored, set aside as unimportant and simply not taken seriously.
Wettergerät is a good tool for Windows users, but there is nothing for MacOS users like me. No SDK, no Weather, nothing…
Active sky, brings back memories. I remember we could even copy across different types of sky textures. I wasn't aware that Mac users had no options for RW weather in Aerofly, very frustrating.

We are not talking about the existence of turbulence, yes there is, but the effects are not realistic, we are talking about cockpit vibration, also when we make that setting, there is constant turbulence, so we want turbulence to happen when we enter the clouds or at certain times.
If we just could control the weather parameters from the SDK, I wonder why this is not allowed. My guess is that the sim cannot handle this smooth on the fly, and it must sort of reload, like when we go out to the menu and adjust these parameters.

I don’t think the limit is there. Even an ancient sim with outdated technology like FS9 (released back in 2003) was able to cope with very modern tools like FS Global Real Weather and Active Sky Advanced, so why would a newer sim created in 2022 like AeroFly FS 4 not be able to handle metar injection, winds aloft, proper and realistic turbulence, rain, snow and all of that in the year 2026?
