Value updated for 2024 and that fact that Manston is no more (boo). Based on the famous FSX Mission “Hundred Dollar Hamburger Flight from Manston to Calais.”
If you are looking for a good IFR heavy rain preset, look no further than SoFly. This is their Heavy Rain setting. Absolutely a soaker at low level airways - with sheets of rain that totally obscure and reveal ground terrain as it passes overhead. It is ah.may.zing.
These are the kind of days you work to get your IFR ticket for.
Those moving sheets of rain? Yeah, obscured the rabbit lights at 350’ - I saw them, then the rain picked up and it was gone. Then at 280’ when I’m about to cycle into the Go Around, the rain lets up just enough for me to get a visual and continue the landing.
Stopped at the ramp throat trying to figure out where the parking is. Look at the near horizon and see how the rain totally obscures your visibility even at close range. Just amazing.
Yep, that’s some poor guy cycling in the rain. No idea who he cheesed off to get that route, but I’m gonna get soaked running to the admin building.
