They are default and you can find them north of the arctic circle. Enjoy.

As Murjax said, they are default, but I think that seeing them factors on a lot of things, not just an exact location or even a specific time. I found them once in Alaska
(See here for piccies), I saved the flight there & then hoping that I could see the lights again, but I have never seen them at that location since, even when I have gone back to exactly the same date & time. I guess you gotta be a bit lucky to catch them, worth looking for though as when they are shimmering & fading in & out, they look amazing.

I got them once, and they bloody annoyed me. They follow you wherever you go even if you go low. I was in Scotland when i saw then (west coast) in winter.

I believe they are something seen in the winter, and I know you must be really far north, such as Alaska, Greenland, Norway, and Russia.
FS9 even has comet textures, but I've only heard of one person seeing it.

Northern Lights...?
I encountered them once during a collision with a street light pole after leaving my favourite watering hole; "The Pig and Whistle".
Made a mental note of the location of the offending "Street Light Pole"....
Never seen them since...

My wife wants to go to see them for real, for our tenth wedding anniversary next year. I'm thinking about Norway...
