Ron Jeffers and I have been working on a little forest fire utility called FS-Blaze. It has just been uploaded to AVSIM's library, but you can download it right now from our website ( www.fs-freeflow.com ).I have also posted some preview screenshots here: Screenshots ForumDescription:What is FS-Blaze?FS-Blaze is a utility which places sensational forest fire effects as scenery within Microsoft Flight Simulator. The locations of the created fires are either of historical significance (Yellowstone 1988 and South Creek 1994 included), user-created (instructions provided), or real-time for North America using data updated daily from the NOAA website.

Wow, this looks neat. So this will show the fire burning up near Sedona here in AZ?

In online mode, it will show all the red dots that NOAA depicts on their website: http://www.firedetect.noaa.gov/viewer.htmA few days ago, that Sedona fire was tremendous.

Its always good to see someone use their imagination,follow it through and come out with something really innovative.

Hi Scott,This looks so cool! I have pointed my VA to this so that we can maybe design better humanitarian rescue missions.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

Thanks, this is amazing!Bryan

Looks very interesting, does FS-Blaze run in the background, or do you run it before starting the Sim?

That's awesome! :) As a firefighter, I'm glad to see something like this. It's great.Is there a way to add a weather theme with a lot of haze. If there is a big fire, usually visability is horrible! :) I can replay the fire in my area a few years back. Too bad I was on the ground while the planes were overhead, though! :)Awesome work! I'll be giving this a try!
