My virtual flight through Hurrican Dean

Unfortunately SHIII has not an open interface for 3rd party addon's like FS:-?

[Oberon]

Nicely flown Seeadler, I must think about getting FS and this addon sometime, then maybe a P3. It's a wonderful idea! What was it like to fly through that? The turbulence must have been insane! :o

[Tikigod]

How is the weather in activeskyX compare to activesky for FS9? can you see a significant difference other than the built-in gui interface?

How are the hurricanes? is there a defined eye you can fly into? is there an actual wall around the eye? Hurricanes are all shaped differently and I noticed they use a standard cliche icon for the radar in activeskyX which is kinda disappointing...but, I guess its a start...I prefer real radar data over cliche images.

Wow sounds like fun.
