Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) and Southern Lights (Aurora Australis)

Especially with the snow and ice, making it worthwhile to go flying around the northern latitudes, we really need auroras to complete the experience.

Hopefully this is just waiting for the new effects system. Previous MS FS versions had it so the code for how and when to render it should still be in there, just needs a new way of visualizing it.

Yes we shall see . It’s definitely worth having in the sim and when this comes out I think will be so beautiful at night in both of our hemispheres

When… Asobo Studio ?

In time I’m sure it will come as of now there are certainly many more projects that they need to address but yes look forward to the lights when they do come

This would indeed be one of the most spectacular enhancements to the sim that I can possibly imagine!

I agree it was the first thing that came to mind since day 1 . It would look great at night to see these lights on a flight .

Since the next world update will be the nordic, I think it’s a good timing for the northern lights to come! :grinning:

sure would , night flight could use some improvement
more spectacle & nice touches that capture the magic of night time.
Northern lights sure would be a very nice addition to the night experience.
I was browsing existing ā€œnightā€ topics for suggesting a light effect on top of plane but put it in a more relevant topic for that light effect: Unrealistic Sun and Moon - #3 by TripsyTipsy .Northern lights always nice find though. Can create moments where you are amazed,like i’ve ben with certain cloud formations already in my travels.

I agree and the night lighting will be getting some improvements. This sim will look awesome with some nice northern and southern lights no doubt . It was the first thing that came to mind when making this topic and vote from the release! Until it happens , enjoy your flights!

Hi, I too am a night sky fan.
I don’t think they put too many stars when the night is perfectly dark. It should be left as it is.
The only problem is when it’s not completely dark, or near cities (light pollution should obscure many stars). You can see the stars much too early at dusk, or when the Moon lights up the sky well (I think the Moon’s lighting is great though!).

Great idea!
Hopefully Asobo will notice this one. :wink:
