On a destination-less test flight in an HJG Boeing 707, just hit Northern Lights for the first time in quite some time without expecting them, at N 55.39, W121.42. Sim time is 7.20 pm.Hope others who've been looking for them can find them and enjoy this. It is super cool!JS

Duplicated your flight... whatever it is, it certainly looks spectacular.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/110590.jpg

Hi JSGlad to see you found the Lights...too bad they didn't model anything more than green light, but at least they modeled them!!Wait till you see the falling stars (meteors)!!!!

Wow, where do I see falling stars....?!#$?JS

I haven't found any real circumstances or timing of the falling star effect...just happen to see them once in a while if you happen to be looking at the right place at the right time...Maybe someone else knows what triggers them...
