Flying into Hurricane Ida…

Featured Replies

Just wondering how many are planning to test out the weather engine and give Hurricane Ida a look today? How well do you think the weather engine will depict the winds? I think i am going to fly the DC-6 through it.

Yes.. sorted!  You can see it in the third pic.

Just tried launching at KMSY in the DC6 to see what it looked like, and had my first CTD in 3 months. Rough weather I guess.

You can boot up anywhere in the Southern USA to see lightning, in hurricane conditions OR clear skies, as long as you use "live weather" - try it sometime!

The CTD is caused by the server problems. If you have Bing data enabled and you have the "No photogrametry /Bing data" problem many are having, you get a CTD when trying to spawn. Disable Bing data and you can spawn without CTD, but you won't have satellite coverage.

I fly in the UK 99% of the time, so I've not had an issue with it.  I rarely see lightning using real-weather & flying GA aircraft around my neighbourhood.

That's an awfully small aircraft in some really big weather!
