Decided to check out Ameliha Earhart's (Spell that right?) transatlantic crossing from Newfoundland to Ireland. Encountered some wicked lightning strikes. Scared the bejebbers out of me so I turned around. I know, I know chicken, chicken, chicken!!!!! But man they were close and loud.

I wonder if your plane can actually be struck by lighting in FS. I've never had it happen.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

I don't know Orenda, but I am trying to find out. Some really close calls, but no hits. I swear I could feel the heat from that third one, I keep my foot on my woofer (gives me the feel of engines) and it startled me enough to knock it over lol

yeah lightning is very hard to capture but heres a hint- slow the rate down to 1/4 then you have 4 times as much time to take the shot Cheesy

Yeah Daz, but where's the challenge in that? I like to sit there for hours and hours and hours, trying to get the shot. Ha Ha Just kiddin!!!! You just need a combination of quick reaction mixed in with a quick trigger finger. I find it fun tryin' to get the shot.
