get it?

Anyway :)...i agree moving weather and storm fronts would be just great, im sure Oleg had talked about this, im just not sure if its still going to be in SOW in the first relase.

It's very unlikely that this is the case. First of all you could can very well tell if it's the same formation usually by composition and mostly a series of Shots was released. Basically done within 5 or 10 Minutes.

And as phillip.ed also mentions: these details have been announced AND shown already. "Get it?" :P
I don't know why you're so against that fact.

This was the old SoW Alpha but as you can see all the things mentioned have been in there already! Now, I partially agreed and maybe they cut the extreme weather simulation (that's why I mentioned it'd be another topic) like sudden hail that forces you aboce cloud level or something but I am V E R Y sure that the athmospheric simulation will still be about m u c h more than just simple moving, but otherwise static, clouds.

@JVM
yeah, well, that's pretty much what SoW:BoB will probably bring. I'm just not sure to what degree. Since I agree, it could be very CPU consuming if done extreme. For example if clouds could be affected by planes propwash etc.
But in total what you describe is what they were aiming for. So I'm sure it will be there to some degree. :grin:
