And you have a background in computer engineering/programming I assume? No okay thanks for your input.

In case you missed it, the feature is being WORKED on and as stated by Luthier will be released at a later time. I personally would rather have the game sooner and wait for it whilst playing than waiting longer for the sim to release.

It's not like the feature was completely left on the floor, it's actually IN game (again as Luthier mentioned) as an "unmarked" feature for now. So turn it on if you want....or be patient and let them do their work.

Just for the fun of it ? :rolleyes:
There's a reason we never showed it.

I don't think anyone, you or us, is really happy with the way the clouds are looking. Complex clouds made up of these puffs look even worse. The puffs were never intended for large cumulus clouds or for overcast, so it looks as horrible as you would imagine.

May i ask again. I'm wondering if this is the pc the screenshots of this and previous updates were made on and if the gtx 275 was meant to be the "low end" gfx card?
lol

You are actually right. But this was one of the main features advertised already back in 2006, so my worries are not at all causeless.

Now you wasted a lot of time and money for such a "downfall"

Is there any unexpected good news on this sim?
Constantly amazed at people's attitude that the perfect sim is "owed" to them. :rolleyes:

If Oleg and Luthier were not donating their time to give us updates and insight on the development process, you would simply either buy it and take what's in the box, or keep your money.

"I'm entitled to the most realistic experience because I'm spending $50" is starting to get irritating.

It's a great feature, but understand it's very complicated so if it's been 5 years and it's "not right" ... it's obviously pretty heavy handed.

The good news is it's still a priority and will be worked on until it's right. Maybe Q4 2011...

Couldn't agree more.

Most developers stay completely shut in from the world up until a few months from release. We choose to interact with the community throughout the process because we feel that you are mature enough to understand the concepts of "work in progress" and "subject to change".

So I'm not sure how to react when people latch on to something said 5(!) years ago while ignoring everything that's been said over the past year and a half. I guess we brought this onto ourselves.

Luthier. Sry if I trod on your toes.

You said it yesterday in another forum than the official.


But what exactly is so laughable about my question?

So whats going to happen with the clouds we are seeing now Luthier?
Are they staying? or is there a new build for the release or a later patch?

And thanks for the info.
