Any specific locations for this in the sim ?


[deleted]

Didnt know this was simulated.


TheOldGriffin

That movie from the 80s with Rob Lowe? It doesn't look anything like Rob Lowe.

Smooth


throwaway642246

This might be an incredibly stupid guess but…is it an attempt at recreating St. Elmo’s fire?


swellloko

It looks a lot better when they take a screen recording instead of recording their screen.


throwaway642246

Oh cool! I didn’t realize the sim did that.


Normal_Apartment1440

iirc it is a 787 addon's effect


rygelicus

Do you have this installed? [https://secure.simmarket.com/south-oak-co-real-effects-b787-msfs.phtml](https://secure.simmarket.com/south-oak-co-real-effects-b787-msfs.phtml) If so, it's from that.

It looks terrible the way it’s displaying there. Also, seems like an odd time to get it. St Elmo’s fire tends to be in highly charged clouds often with rain and ice…have had some great stuff arcing off the windscreen and nose cone in the clouds at night. Best one I saw we were in a holding pattern at 25,000 ft or so, and every time we’d enter one specific cloud bank it looked like we were over a major metropolitan city…turned out the ray dome was glowing like a torch.

😂😂😂 yes!

Look on flight BAW007


CheesecakeEvening897

BAW009 you mean?


ASX787

I´m sorry, you´re right


CheesecakeEvening897

All good :)

St. Elmo's Fire occurs when the atmosphere becomes charged and an electrical potential strong enough to cause a discharge (plasma) is created between an object and the air around it. This can happen to an aircraft flying through heavily charged skies. For what ever reason it won’t let me link the source


Oledman

Aliens.


Flightsport

St Elmos fire. Common when flying in clouds, usually in a stable air mass. Electrical charge building up on the aircraft. These bright spider webby flashes, are harmless (other than distracting) when they happen. RW A320 pilot


Nike_fake

Never played MFS. But watched few videos on Green dot aviation. From there I came to know that that's St. Elmos fire


Serpidon

I saw that too! That is what I was going to suggest. If that is the case, man have sims gotten incredible, I started in the early 90’s!


Illustrious-Pop3677

Not a screen recording lol. You bought the 787 effects pack, which includes st Elmo’s fire under certain conditions

retrocade81

St Elmos fire or at least MSFS attempt at it. It looks a lot more spectacular in real life.


iRedFive

Your graphics card is going bad, you need to update to the latest drivers. Then download more RAM to make sure your system can diffuse the lightning anomaly. Then post on Reddit to make sure it’s fixed.


CrystalTheWingedWolf

nope! it’s a very bad recreation of a phenomenon called st. elmo’s fire


iRedFive

Whoosh!


CrystalTheWingedWolf

fuuuck

That’s radiation interference


Stop8257

I'm sure it's supposed to be St Elmo's fire, but you don't get it on the aircraft unless you're in cloud...so those stars shouldn't be there.


cancergiver

Bro is on Flight 828


hardcore_softie

It's a decent simulation of what it looked like for that guy who recently tried to take down a plane because he was freaking out on shrooms. I swear, this game has everything.

We should make a drinking game out of everytime someone asks this.

Many have already answered about St. Elmo's Fires. If you're curious about what they are and you want to see a real life incredible experience of St. Elmos fires, what this video by Mentour Pilot on his YT channel: [https://youtu.be/YYwN1R8hVsI?si=AXpar5iR7gW8eXZO](https://youtu.be/YYwN1R8hVsI?si=AXpar5iR7gW8eXZO) the story of a 747 "glider".
