Strange Weather

[Charl]

Thought I'd try out Trolly's great find - the GBA Trislander.
It's a most ungainly thing, and really looks like it was made of a ball of twine, some spare washers, and a bit of wire. Noisy too.
Whatever, it gets over to Great Barrier OK.
On the way back, I saw this:



Was that a rain squall??
I had RW weather enabled, which would have fitted, but I didn't know FS9 could do that
Anyone else ever seen something like this?

[ZK-Brock]

Dunno, but it doesn't look too nice, does it

[Jimmy]

just what are we looking at charl?

[ZK-Brock]

That greyish piece of weather that goes down to the water.

[Charl]

just what are we looking at charl?

Er, this

You often see rain squalls at a distance, I've never seen one in FS.
What looks like a cloud, ends in the sea. I fondly imagine it's a rain squall.

[Jimmy]

oh that

I have seen a similier thing in fsx with the real world weather, sort of appeared like a big flat layer of cloud extending right up out of site.. was quite interesting

I would proably say its more of an error, otherwise youd proably see em more often I suppose??? hmm interesting

Hey Charl, I took this 4 mounths ago and its been in the back of my mind since, and tonight, I finaly present to you:



Yeah, lol I have seen it alot since and thought of you everytime, Iv seen it most comanly just when testing out new aircraft or scenery so useing a defualt weather theme, I think the building storms or cold fronts one..

But yeah, Iv seen it.

Mmm well there goes my rain squall theory.
Yours looks like it is trying to rain back up to a depleted cloud...
Interesting I've never seen it again, might be because I now only use real world weather?
