...the weather in the southern US right now with the hurricane passing through. I just did a flight from Dallas to somewhere near the hurricane in the A320 FBW.

Now, I always hand fly down (including throttles) from 2500ft regardless of weather. I am using ILS. I am expecting bad conditions but I have never seen weather as bad as this.

Winds were 40mph which I can handle but visibility was zero in driving rain. I've landed manually in zero visibility before but this was not zero visibility where you can see the runway lights at 200ft or even 100ft, so you can get it on the runway since its hard to react to the ILS this close since the needles are all over the place.

On this occasion I could not see anything. I followed the glidescope as best I could and staying in line with the runway even with the gusty crosswinds.

Then I hear 50...40...30... and I can't see the runway. I finally saw the runway lights when I touched down...off the centre line but on the runway...just. The truth is I didn't know where I was. The craziest flight in 30 years of flightsimming. 

I am bragging about the sim...and yeh...a little about myself.

Haha, yeah it is pretty hard to land. I played around with it a bit myself yesterday around KMSY.

I tried to land at KMSY in the A320NX, diverted lol. I have never seen weather as bad (well i have but it was on top of a mountain)
