Chasing the weather

Just flew into India during the storm using Opus and wow, very shaky lol. OMDB > VEBS.

Every time I see a hurricane or storm on the news I go straight there on my Sim.

I did the same thing recently on a flight to Taiwan, although I didn't know until later that remnants of a typhoon were nearby.  OPUS weather depicted it perfectly.  A great website to go to in search of an extra challenge on your flights can be found here:

Want high winds, a blizzard or big a massive thunderstorm cell to throw a wrench in your flight plan?  Search and you shall receive!

Yeah Opus and AS2012 are awesome but I`m not too keen on FSGRW,.

I sometimes download historic weather like 'Kyrill'/EDDH (Lufthansa Airbus near-crash) or some east coast (N.Y.) hurricane wx for FSX flights. (Wicked, isn't it?)

 

Or, alternatively, I use the 'find CB clouds' function in ASE for any stored wx - gives me some new destinations to fly into.
