August 26, 20205 yr Author Hurricane Laura is now rapidly intensifying ahead of its landfall on the Gulf Coast which should happen tomorrow. The storm already shows a pronounced eye on the current IR satellite pictures, and in the sim, it might be one of the most interesting weather phenomena to check out since release.

Live weather is still not working, that will be a proof) I'm currently heading out there now, this is the view out to the Gulf. A bit further out and whitecaps are starting to form, the clouds are more defined in the distance as well. I'm going to grab something a bit faster though and try and get right out into it.

August 26, 20205 yr Author @BackboneOne @DPSimulation I checked it out last evening and again this morning, and the storm was definitely there, and quite impressive already. I'll fly over there again in a few hours to check out the eye. Winds aloft are a bit inconsistent currently. Outside of active weather systems, I usually only get the 225@3 standard wind. When I entered the Hurricane rain bands, however, I had very strong winds at 30.000 feet. Edited August 26, 20205 yr by Der Zeitgeist

I probably won't get a chance to check it out much as I'll almost certainly lose electricity. Too much Real World for my taste! 😄 Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

August 26, 20205 yr This is so exciting. I'm gonna go after Laura in the TBM or the C172. I want to do some sight seeing out in the gulf. It's amazing how we can all do this in a flight sim these days! So excited and even a bit nerve wrecking doing so in a virtual world.
