My virtual flight through Hurrican Dean

Seeadler · 08-21-07, 04:59 PM

I take off with a B737 in Villahermosa Mexico and turn east

Hurricane comes in sight

Heavy thunderstorms on the edge of the hurricane

Now just in the storm. Heavy sidewinds, I must give full rudder with my pedals to fligh a strait course

Going down below the clouds

Entering the eye of the storm ...nearly no winds but high air pressure which pressing down the plane

I did the same flight with a F15 and a Sikorsky MH53, both crashed in the storm

Wow very cool!

damn, must be a thrill to take a plane right throught the storm

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

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!

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.
