>>... but no real change.<<

Change from what?
We can have chaotic and unpredictable (short of running a full-scale, fully detailed simulation. i.e. - waiting) behavior even in a fully determined environment. So the "change" cannot be a change from a known future state. So the free will in a determined environment is indistinguishable from the free will in an environment containing randomness.

How does having random (uncaused) events in the environment make the free will more "real" and less of an "appearance"?
