Hi, Just wondered if anyone knows how to create a storm in the distance (to try and avoid) and if FS2002 will warn you of the severe weather you are approaching.

Thanks,

Joe.

Go into Weather and change the clouds to Thunderstorm, Precipitation Moderate to Heavy, go into Advanced weather and set clouds to OVERCAST 8/8.

thanks for the reply.
Can you create one say, 20 miles ahead of you though?

I don't think so.  FS creates weather surrounding the aircraft, not in the distance.  Do a top-down view, you'll see the weather in a circular pattern.
