Just want to point out that this happens with Immortal turned on also.

I've noticed this also, trying to do a high alpha F-15 airshow take off straight off the runway and it does not seem possible? I had no problems doing it in FC1 I've had it happen 2 or 3 times recently exactly like this, gear just glides through the runway like nothing is there and I end up sliding down the runway lol. Hopefully it gets fixed next patch as it's kinda annoying :doh:

Guess you are talking about cloud to ground lightning which is not in DCS, cloud to cloud lightning flashing on the cloud base and reflecting on the ground etc is very realistic as not all lightning hits the ground. Weaker or dying storms can produce a lot of cloud to cloud lightning, there's many variables why. But yes I agree though there also needs to be cloud to ground lightning bolts to mix things up and make storms look more realistic and exciting to fly in, it's one of my favorite conditions to fly in Flight Sims for me as it's more challenging and looks cool (one of the reasons I love chasing and photographing storms when I can) Hopefully something in a future build!
