Hi Can you get hurricanes in fs2004
[Post Edited] by JayKae changed topic "whether" into "weather"
Re: whether - poden - 05-10-2005
No. In theory, you could set the weather to "real world" weather, and simulated weather is built from all the stations reporting to the Jeppeson
weather service. But in the case where there is a hurricane in the real world, FS2004 still would not replicate it, since there is no "hurricane
model" built into the code. In other words, FS2004 is not "smart" enough to realize there is a big storm afoot based on the individual readings from
different weather stations The whole region where the "real world" hurricane exists would be simulated as cloudy, rainy, and no doubt windy in
FS2004, but there would be no "eye" in the simulated hurricane. This is because the reporting stations are just too far apart to really allow
accurate mapping of a hurricane.

I believe Active Sky 5 - Enhanced, can represent hurricanes fairly, or so I have read on their forums. Though I recently got ASVE I have only
used their online weather download service which is far and above the Jeppesen download that comes stock with FS9

You wouldn't want to fly in a hurricane in the first place, would you? You people here re truely sick!!!
Just a side note: For the future, weather is spelled W-E-A-T-H-E-R, not W-H-E-T-H-E-R. That's more like saying "whether or not". Get
what I'm saying?

Check vatsim or ivao and go to hurricane areas, you will be surprised how crowded with planes it is in those areas
