Ermm...im pretty sure you cant but why dont you just look for a hurricane somewhere in the world and fly there with real world weather or setting your own weather?

Agreed,
I tried the same thing the same way last year during the Hurricane's. You can get the wind, rain, clouds, but you cannot "FLY INTO THE EYE OF THE STORM".
I really wish we could, FS10???2006??? Who know's, but some day it will be a reality to fly into storms at real time with real weather and the problems associated with them.

| Why don't you'all wait a couple of days for GroundSquirrel to return home. His home is located in Pensacola, Florida and I suspect that he moved his family to safer grounds a couple of days ago. Perhaps he will have some real stories to tell when he comes back on line. |

Short answer is no, The default weather model is not sophisticated enough. It generates an average weather pattern based on the nearest stations.
I was intrigued by this, however, as I have an add on weather engine. I downloaded the conditions as of 11:00 am local time 07/10/2005 and took off from pensacola NAB and headed out at a bearing of 170. The hercules C-130 seemed a good choice for this mission yet it still had a bit of trouble staying true on the runway. Once aloft and after 15 minutes of rather severe conditions a clear area appeared on my weather radar in the wake of the storm I was in and viola ! A fairly calm area appeared. The add on is active-sky 2004.5. Bear in mind that not all weather stations report at times of severe weather and the sim is only as accurate as the data. |

There is an attempt on this website,
no wall cloud, no obvious circulation
..but they do have some strong winds, rain, and
it will blow a c172 all over the place.

ikkedus...
The weather engine is called ActiveSky and you can get it at
www.hifisim.com
It's not free, but it's definately worth the money. |
