Where do I find 'Make Thunderstorms Great Again'

Featured Replies

Hey,

Back years ago when I was into P3D, I remember FSFX Packages released a small, free effect addon called 'Make Thunderstorms Great Again'. It changed how the flashes from the lightning looked in the world, so they were less local and lit up like an actual lightning strike. Made a big difference.

Unfortunately, the website is gone and I can't find it hosted anywhere else.

Anyone have that addon they could share, know where it's hosted or know of an identical alternative?

Thanks

Has anyone tested this in newer P3D versions?

I recently flew in P3Dv6 in VR  close to a thunderstorm with AS6 and the lightning was very realistic and terrifying-have you tried v6 yet?

These files names are the same as the ones in P3DV5 effects folder. Are these files meant to  overwrite the ones in P3D effects folder?
