Is it actually Live Aurora? If so that's very impressive, have they mentioned which Space Weather partner they get this from? need to go hunting for this myself!

I believe so, it seems to match online sources.

You can also see them from the 'world map' if you zoom in.

Was wondering about this a few days ago and figured it might just be for effect in the extreme latitudes (i.e. randomly shows up), but great if it's based on actual IRL live occurrences!

And then in theory, given the new feature for 24 hr preservation of all the MSFS world beyond just basic weather, we should be able to go back in time and see this 🙂

Also the effects don't appear to be overdone which is good.. only when the solar winds are very strong (unusual) should we get to see the various other colors like reds/blues/pinks.. green is the usual color as that's the most likely to happen (weak to medium strength solar particles interacting with oxygen at lower altitudes in the atmosphere). Now if only they'd render the Milky Way as the naked eye would see it and not how it appears in long-exposure photographs 😅

Jorg did say years ago he didn't want Auroras in the sim unless they were real.

That’s awesome, gotta get flying up north

Good tip in this thread about finding Aurora, also expecting a lot of activity in the next 24-48 hours

Yes it’s based on real world data. You can get apps that tell you Aurora probabilities, this is likely using the same data source.
