Storm scope not working?
-
I finally flew around a bunch of lightning tonight, and the scope showed nada. Tried a bunch of different ranges and brightness settings, hit the test button a few times to check that was working, but none of the lightning all around me made any marks on the scope.
@rinkerbuck Were you flying with real world weather, or did you just turn up the lightning slider on the custom weather? My system is not perfect, so I cannot guarantee that it will always detect the conditions ripe for lightning, but the results during testing were pretty good. If you were using real world weather, it would be useful if you could tell me the exact conditions so I could run it through my equations and see if they can be improved.

Was flying with live weather, no weather addons, around NYC klga and Kjfk, about 9-10 PM EST

Does anyone have the actual device just jittering about? Aircraft is cold n dark and the device is just jiggling around lol

Yes, I’ve noticed that too

Haven't seen the jittering myself, thats a bit disturbing

It's the same effect as discussed here. I have put more time into trying to solve this problem over the years than any other single issue. It's seems highly dependent on your render settings, though.
-
have flown around lighting a few more times now and the storm scope has never once worked.

@rinkerbuck Next time you think you should be seeing strikes on the scope, could you please take note of the atmospheric conditions, as they would appear in a METAR, and report back? That's really the only way I can diagnose whether this is a software issue, an algorithmic issue, or a weather issue.

Will do. Tonight is actually the first time I've seen it work, with strikes showing up around 80 miles away from me from the storms over there. So it seems like maybe it has an issue with detecting anything really close, but not far away.
