Thanks its the FSX stormy weather preset, sunset is one of my favorite times to fly, very dramatic skies and landings.

Thanks, yep it's the Aerosoft BeaverX, still one of my favorite all around planes, also the Carenado C185F, REX 2.0 skies, Orbx FTX NA scenery and airports.

I'm really loving how great FSX is nowadays with a couple of great add-ons, pretty immersive.

Wow 142 knots wind? I'll have to try to set that up and see if I can even fly it, definite storm weather there!
