Re: Seeing the Northern Lights in FS?

I saw them on 8/31/2003 at sunset comeing into ancorage right off the western
coast of Alaska, at 38,000 in a 747. For screenshots, just ask!

They're quite random, unfortunately; it's a really nice effect (but not as
nice as seeing them in real life).

It's more common to see them in Scotland; they're at their nicest normally
below 8,000 ft.

It wouldn't surprise me; you can replace damn near everything in that game;
even the sun and the moon!
