You can make visibility worse, but can't get much worse! I would suggest you play around with the weather tool DBond posted the link for on the first post in this thread. It is really easy to use and there is a help flag on just about every function, so if you are unsure about something, just click the "?" next to the function and you will get a message box telling you how it works. You can make clouds as thick as you want them, change wind directions (as you saw in the take off) and speed, etc. Just a whole bunch of different ways to spice things up.

I'll re-post the link so you don't have to back track...

Thanks, that'll help but I saw where they made an early mistake. They should have rolled the window down to get a better look. And I need some time to catch up on the instrumentation, also I don't have that special goggles that helps you to see in the soup.

But I do like the philosophy of letting go of the steering wheel to just let the plane turn 180 so's it can get you home.

Well I have a few more min's left to finish it but so far I'm staying with it pretty good.

LOL I was just funnin with ya!

I was implying you'd best turn away from that weather. biggrin

I think with a little work, you'll be comfortable landing in the worst of weather. And just leave the Drift C/O switch be when landing. thumbsup

Yeah that's cool.

But for real, that rain and lack of visibility is crazy.

Yeah, finding out the crosswinds don't really help a fella like me. Better to just leave it off. lol

Just for the sake of keeping current. I think this deserves to be addressed. Weathergen is no longer being further developed on its own but as a part of Tyrant's semi-new release of VMT. Note that this is a download and not a website tool any longer. The wethergen webpage remains active, but will recieve no further updates.

This is actually pretty cool and expands on weathergen and will be a useful tool in the online campaign environment.

Here is a link and please watch the video if you do any online flying. I don't know who this guy is, but he has some mad skilz w/ BMS add-ons.

Linky.... VMT

this does look great.

ya know, I'm a big inclement weather fan from way back! charge

Hey , I'm glad I didn't have a friendly fire incident, looks like this will tell the story. I may need a throw-down logbook, just in case. exitstageleft

Edit, ok i looked more an its not a weather generator I will need to look further into it to see what's really going on. Seems to be a SA enhancer. Who wouldn't want more of that? thumbsup

Just watch the video. It does weather, but it doesn't go into it that much because it is more about the added features above and beyond weather. He states in the video that you should watch the how to video for weathergen as it is currently still relevant to how weather works. He is basically describing the additional features that are include in VMT vs. weathergen.
