In real life they showed up as far south as Texas a couple years ago. Usually they are only seen further north but if there's a period of increased sun flare activity then they can show pretty far south. I live in Indiana and I've seen them twice here.

I was flying all the time at 15000'.Regards,

I didn't make any screenshots, but I will try to have them in another attempt.Regards,

I am attaching the flight files, so that you can reproduce the situation where the aurora borealis showed upu. I was flying a Flight 1 ATR.I hope you succed with the flight.Best Regards,

Thanks for helping out, much appreciatedDan

Did you try the flight? Did you succeed in viewing the aurora borealis?Regards,

Hi Domingos.I set up the flight but didn't get to see the lights at first (probably me doing something silly!). But i went to CYLT and went to 32 x simulation speed, flew around a bit, changed the time and saw the Aurora Borealis. Wow! much more spectacular than i ever realised they were. It's like a carpet of oranges, greens and purples etc...For the record, i was at N82 23.10 W62 0.74, ALT 54600, heading 270Time=Dec21st 2003 00:25 local and display settings maxed outI did a video clip and they didn't appear for some reason.Also its about time i learnt how to do a screenshot saver. For anyone who might be curious, i would give it a go... its a pleasant suprise CheersDan

Dear Dan,I am glad you managed to see the aurora borealis. In the flight files I sent you (at least in a repetition I tested) the aurora is not seen immediately, but only a couple of minutes after. I set the time at March 21st, as I had read in an encyclopedia that the auroras activity would be higher at the equinoxes. I tried the flight at 15000', but at a higher altitude you might have a better view.Regards,

Hello Domingos.Just to let you know i didn't actually run the files you sent me, and will try a little later tonight. I manually set up your coordinates as close as i could on my machine - that probably explains why.Curiously, i tried to replicate my earlier flight without success. Maybe i didnt stay on the flight for long enough (sharing my comp at the moment).Kind regardsDan

To see Aurora Borealis in FS9, make sure that you set your weather to realistic and updated every 15 mn. If you flew that flight under that condition and there happened to be no Northern lights at this time in real life, that's the reason why you didn't see them.Check this site:http://sec.noaa.gov/pmap/Monitor it and when you see potential for Northern lights to occur, go fly in the same sector in FS9. Altitude doesn't matter as Northern lights happen kilometers (lots of them) above the surface.

Just seen them (in FS2004). Flying over Newfoundland to London Gatwick. FL 33'5000 at 3AM (doing an over night flight).I got screen shots if anyone wants to see them.
