You'll need to create a new airfield in order to save your settings. Just pick an existing field, change the wind speed, direction, etc. to what you want and then save it. You'll have to re-name the field. As for the turbulence just follow jzrf6c's diections.

I agree that the "help" menu in RealFlight is very un-intuitive. And it takes a considerable amount of reading to understand the different functions. But, those of us who understand had to do the reading and learning and if you want the most out of the sim you'll need to do the same.

The low speed flying physics in G3.5 are a bit "easy". Making take-offs, landings, stalls and slowflight a bit unrealistic. Unfortunately there isn't anything that can be done to change that. Unless you're willing to spend another $79.99 and upgrade to G5 ... of course then you'll need to make sure your computer can handle the new system requirements.
