As STOL Addicts we're already considered a little insane for wanting to land on practically everything possible that three wheels, skis, or floats can fit on. Well, today I decided to lose a few more screws and fly through a category 4 hurricane. As per the details from Wiki:
Category 4 hurricanes have maximum sustained winds of 113-136 knots (130-156 mph, 209-251 km/h).[1] "Sustained winds" refers to the average wind speed observed over one minute at a height of 10 meters (33 ft) above ground. Gusts can be up to 30% higher than the sustained winds.[2] Mobile homes and other buildings without fixed structures can be completely destroyed, and the lower floors of sturdier structures usually sustain major damage. In addition to the winds, the cyclones generally produce a storm surge of 13-18 feet (4-5.5 m) above normal, potentially causing major beach erosion. Heavy, irreparable damage and/or near complete destruction of gas station canopies and other wide span overhang type structures are also very common, and mobile and manufactured homes are often completely destroyed. Low-level terrain may be flooded well inland, as well.[3] In addition, Category 4 hurricanes are often Cape Verde-type hurricanes. Cape Verde hurricanes are usually the strongest, and their track sometimes points them towards the United States, or other land.[4]

At this time the WP-3D freeware addon only has the option of the 747 or A320 virtual cockpits. I chose the 747VC since it has the 4 working engines display on the EICAS.
