No use for a combat sim where you fly in and out of clouds in a tail chase though...

Thanks for the info Luthier, it's appreciated. Far more so than the usual streamlined PR crap we usually get from most developers.

While some of the news may be disappointing, I'm glad the devs seem to have a good concept of priorities and are executing it. Too many previous sims suffered from feature creep, only to be released with bugs and problems throughout. I'd rather enjoy a limited featureset that works than another Falcon4-like disaster...

Awesome!! Now we have a flight sim that will bump the top rated "most popular" game off the top spot at Gamespot. Note the top rated game at 9.2 rating:

I recall a BOB pilot saying that clouds were odd, when you're in one you can't see anything, but that if you were above them you could see the shape of an aircraft in them.
It will be something very special to have a complete weather system in the sim. If this comprised time, ie earth rotation, sun position with clouds wind and rain (snow!) and ran independently of, as above or in parallel with the actual game, it could be used in any other title using the SOW engine. I hope you're thinking this way, Luthier....

Regards to the team, I'm looking forward to cranking up the 109!
