Don There has been a lazy wind the last couple of days Don but not unbearably cold and no frost at night. Hard to tell the next few days as they change the forecast hourly. Time for them to get some new pine cones and seaweed! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from memory one of the Orbx airports has a similar one with the stone hanging on a rope. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Two great shots, Jack. You can also raise the clouds to a higher level, so you get a bit of sun in between. Then you can increase the wind so the sea will really look dramatic (see my Cape Horn pics). I just love what you can do in MSFS to make your flight weather-wise more challenging 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t try to raise the cloud, thanks, another thing to try out. I agree, this is much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might give it a try myself later and it would be interesting to try this day by day or even if there is a dramatic change in the weather as we often get here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
