Uhhhhh, does v4 have Meteors or Comets in it?

Recommended Posts

Wow, in all the night flying I've done in FS9-P3Dv4 I never knew there were shooting stars...I'll have to pay more attention.

Do the stars still appear in v4 before the sun drops below the horizon? Hopefully not.

Ray - It appears the stars still show up too early....:mellow:

Bloody hell! For all its advances that is a staggering oversight. We've had that anomaly for multiple versions now. I suppose in the big picture it's not a killer but is disappointing that it can't be eradicated.

Sadly, the JF deHavilland DH106 won't install in P3D, so that's one Comet you won't see in P3D (yet anyway), however, their Meteor F.8 does work in P3D, Then there's the A2A P-80 Shooting Star too of course lol. :dry:

The Aurora and shooting stars have been in the engine since at least fs9.

Dont have anything to prove this, but I was just flying along in the PMDG 747 at night (SLC - PDX), and all of a sudden, 3 tear drop shaped objects moved horizontally from right to left outside. It was like this blue glow, kinda like a lightsaber glow and as soon as one disappeared, another one would appear. They were only on screen for about a second so couldnt capture it. Anyone know if this is some P3D affect or am I going crazy? Lol

You didn't happen to fly over the Dugway Proving Ground did you? You're lucky you didn't get taken down that's where area 52 is. It's more secretive than area 51 is.:ohmy:

Yes, that annoys me in P3D v3, Ray. The stars can even be seen through the atmospheric haze near the horizon. Let's face it though.......stars and ATC are not exactly a priority for Lockheed Martin :dry:

A night flight from London to Tokyo will usually show the aurora if the weather conditions are right.

Why do you say that Ray?  When flying IRL you can see stars before the Sun disappears

just curious,

I thought you meant Aircraft. Gloster Meteor & de Havilland Comet. :blink:

You can see some stars at low altitude (or on the ground) before twilight ends, but not when the Sun is above the horizon. The situation at airliner cruise altitudes may be different, but that is not what Ray is talking about.

Only a few stars (Sirius probably one and Venus) are visible shortly AFTER sunset but none are visible with the sun above the horizon. The only object you'll see then is the moon.

What's IRL?
