      I was supposed to follow it up through Augusta but it pushed me over Savannah and by the time I got my heading lined back up I was over Toccoa. A real plane would have probably burnt down or been one hell of a ride but idk I have never flown an actual DHC-6 much less one through a hurricane hahah

    I was flying into the eye of the storm while it made landfall with Xplane 12..... such a visual and meteorological disappointment. gusts at the airports in the Big Bend area of Florida were registering 60 mph gusts at most while the actual storm were hitting there Cat 4 winds speeds. Big bummer after the power staying on through the storm in Tampa Bay.

    I did this when 2020 had just come out and it had rendered the clouds of the storm really nice with an open clear sky eye and the spirals of the storm were clearly visible. It was a magnificent view of just mountain sized clouds but there was just no wind at all. (I think it had an 'integer overflow' on the hurricane wind speeds and MSFS just noped it)
    With one of the weather updates the weather became more realistic and things became less visible like shown in this video.
    This might get even more interesting to do with 2024.
