kalizzi Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Hi David, Lovely photo essay. I would imagine the poor Lear taking a lot of structural beating. Did you inject the weather from real using an engine or something? How did you recreate the hurricane? Best wishes.

DAVIDSTRAKA Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Hi David, Lovely photo essay. I would imagine the poor Lear taking a lot of structural beating. Did you inject the weather from real using an engine or something? How did you recreate the hurricane? Best wishes. It got bounced around quite a bit. This is real time weather using Active Sky 16 and Active Sky Cloud Art (payware). Personally I find it really great! I tried others and the timely and smoothness of the injection was not good. Active Sky also comes with the radar. St one point on my approach I was at 85 knot ground speed. Thank for the comment!
