I was on an unbalanced TB just now so decided to fly off. The host had set to overcast so I flew around just above the cloud layer. Man this game nailed clouds to a tee. I don't think it struck me till now how great the heavy cloud looks. Maybe combo of JackD n coke n some chilled music on my iPod but nearly in a trance flying through the cumulous!

I do like too how clouds are rendered in this game... specially during sunsets... but i really miss their turbulence... sadly, il2 game engine on ps3 does not simulate weater/winds/clouds/rains effect over the fly model... :( Flying in a storm or in a clear day affect visibility only....

I love the clouds in BoP. Probably because I spend my time above them looking down!!
I actually navigate when bombing using them as sadly they aren't dynamic. Can be a pain at times as like the guys who did it for real they can often obscure the target meaning accuracy suffers.

the game is beautifully modeled(sp) love it, sometimes when i cant get a game! Training huge time limit Vs Po2's and just have a fly stick rockets or bombs on and practise or just go for a fly even run up the old air race course from hawkinch to manston via the radar station at dover :D
