The whole BoB has weather recorded.

e.g. http://www.raf.mod.uk/bob1940/august1.html

Date: 1 August 1940
Weather: Fair in most districts with Straits and Channel overcast. Low cloud dispersing during the day. Warmer.
Day: East and south coast shipping attacked.
Night: South Wales and midlands targets. Minelaying in Thames Estuary and north-east coast Scottish coast.

Can't you adjust the weather setting in the missions menu?

[Ctrl E]

the options at the moment are no clouds or a few clouds.

Anyone tried setting up different weather conditions in the fmb yet?

Different weather? LOL! What do you think this is? The year 2001?! We have no clouds, few clouds or a little more than few clouds, have your pick. This sim is so advanced that it doesn't even bother to simulate such simple effects as rain, overcast etc.:)

LMAO. :grin: Yep, its truly in touch with the 'climate change' Zeitgeist, nothing but blue skies, baby! English people love global warming (which doesn't really exist, of course lol) cos we can top up the tan and burn our faces off 'Lobster Stylee'. :grin:

I think we are still in the beta phase and thus still working on collision model for trees, and fixing performance issues (so game could be actually playable on less nuclear rigs)...sry

Come back in autumn 1012....I think the game will be at 70%....

Thanks mate, thats the kind of response I was looking for.. not a drama, just another piece of the jigsaw they have to fix.. :mrgreen:

[JG52Krupi]

or you can ask your girlfriend/wife to squirt to simulate rain...

Roflmao! :lol:

Er, unbelievable remark I have to say.. where's he from? ah, Zagreb.. last time I was there I can't remember anyone coming out with something like that.
In fact, in the UK you would probably get arrested.. lol!
Still, I'm always amazed by what people get away with online! :shock::mrgreen:

[Trooper117]

Get off that horse.. I loved it in Zagreb and everywhere else I went in Croatia, the people I met were very gratious and helpful.
The same can be said for the people across the border in Serbia too!
Stop being so touchy, it seems you are the one with a problem not me, and I don't need to swear or be lewd to get any kind of point across..
That said, of course you were making a joke, I understood that, but it wasn't expected on this kind of forum.
I swear and get unruly with the best of them, I work with paratroopers for god sake.. but not in here.

Just curious: how do other modern sims handle weather? I've seen lots of screens of that A10 game, WoP, and RoF, but apart from the clouds, I've not seen much indication of fancy weather systems. Can someone post screens from those games (if they have 'em) that show the storms/rain/etc that people want from CloD?

I know Rowan's Battle of Britain (and the Shockwave/A2A "sequel") has weather in it and that game is pretty old. It's also FAR more limited in its damage model and other things that I adore about IL-2 and Cliffs of Dover.

Actually, I'd be pretty happy if they just ported the BoB weather into CloD, but things are rarely that simple. I suspect that the weather they tried to impliment in CloD was far more modular and customizable as anyone who's looked at it in the mission builder will see.

I think Rise Of Flight is perfect example...I think it has best looking and immersive weather "system" in sim world....its one of the best parts of the ROF...rain, mornin haze, fog, night flights, seasonal land textures....really nice...ROf devs always introduce new features for immersion like dynamic cloud shadows, searchlights (WIP), ability to extinguish engine fire in continuous dive...such things makes difference for me...

@Trooper117 - youve been to harsh on me right from the start but no hard feelings...why do you think it too much for this zoo? Anyway it was intended to be as "relax break" as there are many "edgy" folks with serious performance issues and they are all passionate simmers.....

[Trooper117]

No drama at my end mate.. just maybe crossed wires eh? :)

is happens...no worries :-)

We may need something like Falcon BMS 4.32 has for weather.
Probabilistic Weather settings with dynamic in-game changes based on what has been setted before mission start.
Would be awesome :D

Here in this GPU test video you can see a whopping 4MB custom detailed
bigger clouds texture , original texture is different and 1MB size :cool:
I am running CloD constantly with modded stuff .

S! HG :mrgreen:

We already have the two first in CloD for sure... Didn't tested yeat if we can extinguish engine fire diving... :confused:

I believe that CloD devs aren't working in actual clouds and smoke effects for two reasons:

1) working in dynamic weather system - with local weather, etc;

2) working in DX10.1 and DX11 rendering.

That's a guess...
