Friday 2010-11-26 Dev. update and Discussion

[Igo kyu]

I turn the clouds off in IL*2 because the AI shoot me through them. If the AI can't see me through the clouds in SoW, I will be able to turn the clouds on, which means they will be 100% better than the clouds in IL*2, no matter what they look like.

could have been lots of ways, plane was coming from left corner and tried to avoid hitting the trees , applying to much rudder and accidental to much aileron which made the wing tip hit the ground and break off and the hurricane came spinning to a halt, just a scenario, cant tell from the picture so I guess it's useless to keep speculating, however it is quite fun

yes that the first thing i thought as well...

Just to add, the bug-pure and simply-appears to be grass completely oblivious (in theory) to light and reflections, and also to objects (as it surfaces through the Hurricane).

Excellent update, the game looks drop-dead gorgeous.

If someone says that wings of prey looks better I will make sure that they require plastic surgery when ive finished with them

Fixed for 4.10 according to some older updates from Team Daidalos.

Diversity of clouds shapes is extreamly important for a modern flight sim... as much as dynamic lightning (that is well visible )

If there is improvement on clouds diversity - what is the reason for not displaying it... so far ?

( It is better to see once - than to hear 100 times... )

Just a "constructive question"... nothing more, nothing less.

Hello "new" member. Good to see you have been following the obsessions of a few "old" members so closely.

Oleg informed us long ago that weather dynamics would not be revealed until closer to release. With that in mind, we haven't yet seen all that SoW has to offer in regards to clouds and weather.
