I knew there would be wind, it was even mentioned in the pre-alpha video on youtube, sorry for the confusion.

hi Oleg,
thank you for answering questions!
Will the people/soldiers in BOB run out of their vehicles, when we are attacing them, like it was in IL 2. Sorry if this was asked before.

In the vehicle updates we saw that the doors were openable... So it might be possible people will run out.

I'm sure SOW's clouds look better. They only have to change their botoms! The clouds of condor are to far away from eachother and they are a bit too big, And they accually have no textures, they aren't shiney.

[edit] I looked again at condor clouds and I have to say SOW already has better clouds.
hmmm, they look better than I thought.... from up close.

[an other edit] I really don't understand what you want Philip, one update you want a pretty picture of a cloud hanging in the sky (REX like), and this update only thing that matters about the clouds is the flat botom (condor).

C'mon, are you serious????? Those clouds come from a walt disney movie. If Oleg showed those here, he would have been flamed to death.

In almost every game you get a white cockpit when flying into clouds, this always irritates me, also in ROF.

as you can see here: you can see the top of the mountain clearly, but when you get there everything becomes white, because they think you are in the cloud

I really hope it won't be like that in SOW..

I stand by my opinion; notice the shadows on the cloud-bottoms. This is lacking in SoW and really adds to the realism. I can see what you mean though; they do look a bit cartoony, but the general shape looks more realistic to me.
It's a mixed bag really. It's just my opinion; SoW has the ground to have awesome clouds, but to me they just look a bit like cotton-balls.
