The FIRST rainbow? Seriously? 

Now finally rainbows and lightning bolts are fixed, before it was a rainbow and lightning fest.

I think it might still be a lightning fest… yesterday I flew into Austin Texas. The US Grandprix practise session was on the go, live on the TV (go Max!). Live weather in the sim was pretty accurate with respect to scattered cloud cover but the lightning and thunder was working overtime! There was zero lightning or thunder on the TV.

You know that live TV is fake??    Max had already clinched the title but Mercedes payed untill end of the season.

Yes, and happening when conditions for lightening are not appropriate per cloud type or when not matching weather conditions even remotely close to the area of flight.  And the lightening bolts are totally weird!

Doubt you will ever see a rainbow this rounded, or below you (was at 8,000 ft between overcast layers), and in such conditions that lack any direct sunlight.

That airport looks like a port over from a flight sim 15 years ago.

Yes, but isn't it amazing how VR now makes that cockpit look 3D on my non-VR screen?😇

You might even see some Zippys, Georges and Bungles! (UK joke)

The first time I saw one in MSFS I was amazed as it wasn't really a feature I thought was in the game - I still get pretty jacked when one comes along....
