Hi ,

I sometimes sit here for hours trying to capture a good shot of lightning with FS2002 set for thunderstorms and heavy rain .  Is there a way to have lightning on demand ???

Nope, but in order to cheat the lightning turn time compression to its lowest level.  Then, when you see a flash, you'll have plenty of time to pause the game and take your pic.  Happy hunting  ;D

Hi Jamie.........you could stop the sim right after a flash and go for the instant replay and maybe have better chance of catching  the "screen grab moment"....just an idea..commoner

Hey commoner ,

Hate to admit it , but guess I am a notch or two below you here in Mineral Wells , Texas .  Really not bad down here and guess we have fewer problems than those at the top !!

Have a nice day ,

Jamie
