Weather Watch....

Postby Fozzer » Tue Sep 25, 2012 4:57 am

The one thing I really like about the MS Flight Sims, over the years, as a keen Motorcyclist, and Sim Pilot, is the interest in learning all about the weather, that it brings!
I closely inspect my Weather Station in my garden at different times of the day to obtain local conditions; and also obtain weather details for the areas of the World, on the Web, that I am about to "fly" in, in the Sim!
Dialling up; "Real Weather", will often leave me "Grounded".. :'(..!
Even setting up; "Custom Weather" in the Sim, can result in surprises.. :o...!

A really fascinating subject:..."Weather"... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Paul...Weathering the Storm!...Whether I like it..or not... ;D...!

Last nights sudden local Pressure drop: 29.83 - 28.40 ins = Stormy!

So the question is, whether one should weather the real weather or whether one should make one's own weather. Either way, whether you pick real weather or whether you pick your own weather, weathering the weather is a daily part of life whether you like it or not............... ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I reckon your trusty Missus did a quick spell check on that, before you posted it, Matt... ;D... ;D...!

Paul...Whether she did, or not, depends upon the Weather at the time.... ;D... ;D...!

It was all my own work today Paul, well, whether you count Firefox spell checker as your own work is a matter of opinion..... ;D

[color=#003300]Aah, I had such feelings of relief and anticipation when I first saw this title...
my travel has been beset by rainy conditions, even locking my bicycle's gears; a weather watch upon one's wrist with which one could not only know the time of day but select the weather one's engulfed in; enveloped in a cocoon of pleasant weather while transversing the inclement weather of Mudder Nature...
