While watching the coverage of the Irene hurricane i thought i would just try flying through it just for kicks but when I used the "Real Weather" setting I didn't get anything but some broken clouds and no real wind. I double checked everything and it just would not give me accurate weather. My question is does anyone have a "hurricane" setup for custom weather? If i could input the numbers and stuff then i could make it a sick storm and i am sure some of us thrill seekers would love to tame a hurricane Grin

Thanks guys

In the USER DEFINED weather, you can set each "reporting station" to its own 'wind and direction' all in all, you would want at least 7/8 or 8/8 cloud coverage, and rain. 170 knots winds

The only software I have found that will give you the best approach to a real hurricane is Hi Fi´s Active Sky, all others are very poor on this as well as other weather conditions.
