Wow , I was busy tweaking my sim for use with my dual monitors and I was blessed with this pleasant surprise. When they appeared it actually took my breath away & I realized I need to goto Alaska someday soon(in real life) Grin

The Northern Lights

If you are quick do real world weather and set the time to dusk, lets see if you can find them Cool

That's pretty cool looking. One more thing to add to my FSX things to do list. Wink

Check out the “Aurora Borealis”.

This is FS9 but Im sure its in FSX. IF you look at the first shot the Lights were reflecting of the clouds below, a picture doesn't do the actual event justice.

I have never seen one of those in FS. I am hoping to see them as soon as I get my computer fixed again.

Awesome display. Wink

Interesting that you saw that. I was flying a C-17 over Greenland last night (around 10:00pm their time at 29,000 ft) and they showed up. Had a light show all the way into Ireland.

And yes, you should go to Alaska to see them. I got to see it once while there. Pretty awesome!

a1: Look for alask_ff1.zip at "the other sim website."
