Thanks & Cheers,

Cold: below 4°C
Cool: 4°C - 18°C
Nice: 18°C - 26.5°C
Warm: 26.5°C - 33°C

Test done in the FSX Military Mustang MkIV

Tomas is pretty much spot on. There's one further band below cold which is "freezing" and is triggered below about -6.5°C. Though I suspect most Canadians would regard this as barely cool. :)

Tomas & Nick, Thanks very much! I've just been doing some high altitude travelling in my Mustang and been wondering at what point I need to be planning for winter boots and a parka... :wink:

@Nick: the fact that we are used to it and prepared for it does not make that crap any more enjoyable for us Canucks to deal with... :mrgreen:

Cheers,
Rob
