I'm not too sure what you mean by deal with turbulence. Can you be a bit more specific? Click below to support FSF:

Fly through it until it goes away, that is if you're descending or ascending, if you're flight straight and level try ascending or descending 1000 or so feet, thats what I usually do. |

Some panels have buttons that can disable or turn on the seat belt sign. Also if you have FS Passengers, there is a command to turn it off or on manually or letting the air hostess to do it automatically, depending on what your settings are. |

When I get turbulance I fly straight through the middle because it is fun and doesn't really affect huge aircraft. |

to reduce turbulance, you can decrease power. that normally works for me |

Slow your aircraft down to its rough air penetration speed |

..well if you get airsick, try and fly around the gusty air pocket.. but it will cost you time.
eh.. but on a serious note.. fly straight through it, your average turbulence will do nothing more than make your ride a bit bumpier.

If you're flying through turbulent areas, is it advisable to cruise high or low, cause I had a bad experience with this cause whilst flying the Boeing 737-400 default, I was reaching cruising altitude (FL330) when suddenly the speed started decreasing really fast due to winds and I stalled at that altitude and had to go back down to FL290 and maintain that. Was pretty annoying |

In the past i would have been non-aware that there was turbalance ahead, so i would have just flew through it. Now i have purchased AOG - COMMON WEATHER RADAR (Its a weather radar) i can detect turbalance, storms, ice and rain ahead and i can climb or descend. Its worth buying it. |
