My name on here is Sanuska, but I can't log in from the in-flight browser. Anyways, does FS2004 include the northern lights? I'm flying through Greenland (or was) and noticed them. It's really nice. THey come up every once in awhile. |

The real ones must be extraordinary. I've never seen them but I would sure like to see it once.  |

I've seen them but never from a high latitude location like Alaska.

They are good and when you meet them its always a pleasure surprise. I agree with GM, I'm surprised that they even included them. Some people won't ever be happy. I guess not until Flight Simulator is like The Matrix and we all have USB ports installed in our skulls.  |

I saw the same thing you guys are talking about. However, I saw one when I was on my Flight around the World 3. On of of my legs, I was flying though Antarctica from Base Marabio to Sydney in a 747. I saw the northern lights over there. Shouldn't it be called the "southern lights" in this case? Love the Airbus A380. It's huge! |

Yes, they are called aurora australis. They have similar properties to the Northern lights.
