[O/T] Aurora Borealis over Denmark!

[amenofiiv]

Hi all!
Last night I was flying over Denmark, during the fly LIRF-ENBR, it was approximately 8:30 pm.... suddenly... what's over my aircraft? An Aurora
Borealis! wowo! I've never seen this before in FS9, this is my first time and it was spectacular!!!
I've made some researches and now I now that Auroras could happend randomly at high latitudes, but is a feature of FS9 or of ActiveSky?
I try to attach a shot (in the background there is a JAL 747 going to RJAA. You could see also the fspassengers statusbar on the bottom-left), I hope
you enjoy it!

I live in Denmark and i can tell you it is the "northern lights" (in danish "nordlyset") the northern lights is not so much in Denmark in the
real life I am not sure but i think it is the northern Norway and Sweden.

this doesn't really have anything to do with this, but how did you know the JAL 747 was going to RJAA

Indeed, altogethwr sing.........The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen......

In Scotland its a common enough sight as you go north, near Glasgow I would say nigh impossible. Ib FS world it is, but in reality no.

Thanks to all!!!
I've never seen auroras before (or nothern lights) as I live in Italy... I hope to see these kind of things soon!
Just to answet to catzrthecoolest, I know where my aircrafts fly to... Ehehehehhe!! It was written on the top of the aircraft (do you have seen
the red line? At the time of the shoot there was the feets of altitude, but is a turning text... I guess you know it already!).
See you soon!

really... mine doesn't say their destination....

[jboweruk]

They have been seen as far south as London, but only on extreme rare occasions.

I've a question for the FSP gurus (Dan in primis): is it possible to make passengers happy when they are seeing auroras? It's a very rare thing and
very suggestive! If they are scared during rain or winds I guess there is a way to make passengers happy when are looking at nothern lights (do I am
wrong?)...

It's not such a rare sight here on Faroe Islands. Hmm, though it's been a while now.
