I think it must be a random thing as I played it twice and never saw any lightning.

Me too.

I'll have to run it again. I saw lightning the first time through for sure.

[donjgatlin]

Every time I have played this scenario, I never have seen any lightning and have only heard thunder once or twice. It's quite upsetting for a person who is actively interested in meteorology that they don't get weather right. One of my issues with RSC is that they label the weather incorrectly. Example: Cloudy is the label, actually it's partly cloudy. That's the difference between 40%-60% cloud cover and 90-100%, It's not negligible by my standards. Then again, we can't expect them to be experts in this area.

[Chacal]

I was gonna say that.

[raptorengineer]

that be so awsome if they add that thunderstorm on quick drive. so you could play donner pass with thunderstorm feature. i donno why they didn't add it as default feature.

Well, they should be experts in this field, in Britain we can have all 4 seasons in one day, if they don't know the difference between cloudy, partly cloudy, wispy and stormy, then it's a sad state of affairs, we Brits pride ourselves as being amateur Meterolologists, we talk about the weather hourly.

Cheerz. Transport Steve.

Same here in Quebec, Canada.
My girlfriend comes from Indonesia and she was surprised that everyone here is always talking about the weather.
It is not a topic in Indonesia, apart from the few times when storms throw houses around.
I haven't told her yet about the many words we have describing types of snow.

Funny enough I was thinking the same thing about drizzle earlier on. I reckon I could run off a list of about 15 without trying too hard.

Lightning and thunder starts about 3 miles before Wycon and does not last long gang. Could use a little more sizzle for sure.
