Landscape and clouds

[Bonkin]

Whilst we all patiently wait for the next patch I thought I'd have a look at the Full Mission Builder to see what it was all about. I'd had a look through various threads and seen something about local weather settings so figured I'd give it a go.

I know that the dynamic weather has been turned off but I was still able to create some volumetric thunderstorm clouds which I could then use to look at how the cloud shadows affected the landscape. Not sure what you all think but I'm really looking forward to this functionality working... to me the outside world looks more as it does in real life.









Note, I have trees turned off due to the online sound bug.

Things I've found so far:

1. Rain doesn't work - neither does Dynamic. Can't launch the game with these set.
2. You can only select Thunder clouds.
3. It is possible to set the width, length and height of a weather area.
4. Adjusting the properties of a weather area seems to have no effect.

I guess my point is that for those that have been complaining about the look of the outside world and washed out colours, I think we'll see great visual improvements once the developers are able to release a patch with dynamic weather.
