First OfficerDuring a night flight there is often not much to look at on the ground-- until you get to a city. I noticed that there are lots of stars to look at on those night flights. I was wondering if the Microsoft people programmed realistic stars and constellations into FS9. Are the stars the same stars that we would see if we were making a real life flight?? Of course it would depend on the day, month, and time of day when looking in a certain direction. Are the Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Orion and other constellations in their proper places in the sky? And some constellations would only be visible to those in the southern hemisphere.
Has anyone studied the stars enough to tell if they are realistic or simply
"generic" groups of stars?? 🙄
