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?

Look at the top of the page just under the simviation banner - there's a light blue bar with links. You want "Upload Images".

There are very good instructions embedded in a link there.

You need to include img tags around the outside like this:

img]http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/FS2002.jpg/img]

which will produce the picture. Unfortunately - it seems you have the url wrong - it's case sensitive and needs to be exactly as you named the picture. E.g. fs2002.jpg or Fs2002.jpg - howevever you used capitals.

Go to where your pic is on your hard drive that you uploaded.

Right click it and select "rename" - then right click the name (which should now be highlighted in blue) and select "copy".

Paste the name in a reply here - I'll print the url for you to use straight after it.

okay, i've wanted to correct this for some time now,

it's weird***** 

Thanks for trying, I had renamed it to wierdclouds and I remember saving them as jpg. If you want to I can send to you through e-mail and then you can take a look and perhaps upload them.

And here it is!

Very welcome
