I hope this is not a stupid question. We had a pretty bad storm here in the Memphis area a couple nights ago and I was sitting at KMEM. I had ASV6 loaded and I got heavy rain and thunder but I did not see a lot of lightning as was the case with the actual storm.Does ASV6 reproduce the lightning from the METAR report or is lightning reproduced by the sim in some random way?I wanted to try out the extreme lightning add-on to see how it compares to the default lightning.Thanks and a fantastic product. I love ASV6.Regards,

Hi,Lightning is a function of the FS Thunderstorm cloud layer depiction, which is triggered in turn by a TS (or CB, depending on options) indication in the METAR string. The density (and frequency) is determined by the METAR TS intensity indicator (- for light, null for normal and + for heavy).FS can only render so much lightning given the default effect in use. We have been experimenting with new lightning and other effects (that is all I can say for now!).Best,
