I wonder what the weather was on July 7th, 2007? ASA has thrown up a rainy day in Livingstone – in Zambia I presume? Well as it happens, it is rainy season on the Dark Continent.

Let’s try for something really horrible… Rub the magic lantern… “O djinn of the lamp, show me some terrible claggy weather” Now the beauty of ASA advanced over it’s predecessors is that you can actually go out and find that ghastly weather – to go there if you are of a masochistic persuasion or to avoid like the plague, if you are sensible. You can pick a spot on the globe at random and most of the time you’ll have light wind, light cloud… My random shot is no different. But then again, the first thing to remember about the weather is that most of the time it is just simply average. On the short hop between Naha (ROAH) and Futenma (ROTM) you can see that the weather isn’t startling. “We’ll take it, don’t bother to wrap it, we’ll fly it as it is.” Fire up FSX and take a pair of title pictures for this review. Hmm, that’s interesting – I picked a small western Pacific island south of Japan – Okinawa Jima. Let me spin my Google Earth globe and pick a random spot. What is the weather like right now, right this instant – as I write these words – in somewhere like Timbuktu? No, let’s forget Timbuktu, that’s in the middle of the desert and at this time of day I will hazard a guess at eight eighths sunshine. Various screenshots – for those with time

SECOND LOOK – INTERACTION WITH FS AND FEATURES Over the past few weeks I have been flying my PC with this latest edition of what has probably been one of the single most influential programs in flight simulation over the past few years. A century into flight and now we can even invent the weather we want with programs like HiFi Sim’s Active Sky Advanced, not to mention set up real world weather conditions anywhere in the world as it is right now. A few years later, Bleriot looked over the English Channel and could see the White Cliffs of Dover. Wilbur and Orville had an easy job of weather forecasting – a glimpse over the field and they could see all they needed to know.
