Hi all,

I noticed that I was flying at 35000 from Hong Kong to London at night. I had the clouds from 5000-10000 however, everytime I changed to spot view I'd see this green Cloud right above the aircraft.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Yes I sure did

I HATE that everyone but me has seen them! 

Been flying in FS2002 for quite some time, have logged nearly 700hrs flight time in it, and not ONCE have I seen them on my transcontinental flights to Asia..  Every time I fly to China, I pass fairly close to the north pole on the offset chance that I would see them.

Does anybody have the exact time and date and location... I could view them?

Thanks for helping a poor pathetic soul 

As far as I remember you can't see them from inside the cockpit only from Spot Plane view, though I could be wrong about this.

From my experience I've seen them loads but when I switch to the cockpit they aren't there anymore.

Well Ozzy, thanks for your answer, however, I flew for two hours noth at FL290 in my b734, at 1500 local time at CYSY.. nothing..

Is there a file I'm missing? I have all the effects and texture files for the northern lights..

Just slew north in winter! thats how i say them. took me 5 mins.

The only thing I can think of is that your scenery settings aren't high enough?

I've not come across anything that says they have to be on max to display this, but it might be worth a look if they aren't.

Take a look at Leg 3 of my RTW tour. It's under part 1. (Link in my signature).

There are several screenshots in there plus the location and time. Setting that up in your own Simulator should produce them.

If not, then I'm at a loss apart from something in your hardware. What graphics card and drivers do you have?
