Yes, it does - it's part of modelling thermals in Advanced Weather. There's a
checkbox on the detaile
There's a lot of studying behind this. Here are some papers I found
within 5 minutes of starting to look:
http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/JAS3952.1
http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~ryden/ast825/ch7.pdf
http://rams.atmos.colostate.edu/cotton/vita/117.pdf
http://journals.ametsoc.org/d
My guess is that the size/density of the cloud will have to be
calculated for the turbulence to be even close of realistic.
Also, I believe the next version is 3.0.0.

Does FlightGear currently "support" cloud turbulence? You know, like when you
go through a cumulus cloud, there's /a lot/ of turbulence? Well, IIRC,
FlightGear doesn't support have any.
It shouldn't be that hard to add. Just check if the plane is in a cloud, and if
so, mess with the flight dyn
