FSX comes with a really neat feature called “Real World Weather Data”. When you run the simulator with this option turned on (which I always do), the simulator will reach out to the Jeppsen site and download the current world weather conditions. It will also update the weather conditions every 15 minutes as you fly. Truly one of my favorite features of the simulator. So it would have been impossible for me to find an airport to land at on the North East Coast this weekend with Hurricane Irene roaring through there. I expect to continue my ‘round the world tour this week. Looking forward to it.
