Northern exposure...

Recommended Posts

Just one, a night flight just out of Fairbanks AK in the Icon A5 with the shimmering Aurora overhead to cast an eerie green glow atop the wings. The Aurora is not in Xplane11 as a default option, but it and shooting stars can be added by editing X-Plane.prf in the output, preferences folder and editing these lines from a zero to a one at the end, to read:

renopt_aurora 1

renopt_fire_ball 1

The aurora will appear above 60 degrees north or higher--Fairbanks for example is at 64 degrees north

The shooting stars are brief, but watch for them....
