Did anyone know FSX has shooting stars?

Featured Replies

Just cruising along at FL370 in the NGX over the Indian Ocean between Mauritius and the Maldives.

 

While looking out and admiring how black the sky was. this bright white shooting star zoomed across my windscreen and off into the distance to the left. It actually scares the s**t outta me as I wasn't expecting it.  Having used FSX since the start of 09 I have never seen this before.

It also has meteors colliding with the upper atmosphere. :)

I actually had this on way to EFRO the other evening, i thought i was going mad because like you i had never had this happen before@

Stop looking out of the windows and monitor your instruments.

I saw this over Alderney the other day, and I wondered whether I was day dreaming!

Cool. Never knew.

Maybe this accounts for the UFOs I have seen from time to time while night-flying around Roswell - but then again, maybe not...  :P

...that was just some sparks from your GPU,flying across in front of your monitor...

What a great sim we have here.  Don't we?

You can sometimes see a meteor shower in winter if you takeoff from CYFB and fly due north above 20,000 feet. 

Thanks,

Good question and I completely forgot about the northern lights.  I haven't noticed them, yet.
