I want IFR approach, and I mean full on IFR, practice, but I don't want to set up the weather. Somehow I always fly into nice weather, sometimes windy, but never low visibility. Last night I flew to St. Louis, and was greeted with a thunderstorm and this on short final!

Unfortunately, the way FS does the weather I was able to see the runway fine until about this point, so it took some of the fear and fun out of it.

Just download ENBbloom. On default it will be so dark, you will not be able to see the Outside, While on the runway Cheesy

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

No, it just depends on the bloom settings.
In that case, Jake was surely talking about the visibility layers.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?
