The cloud part of this question is purely coincidental; I am not some clouds nut! Also, I doubt what I have said will be able to feature, but the aspect I'm focusing on is the effect of flying through clouds and also the limitations of the weathering system.

Did Oleg ever answer whether the terrain would be affected by the weather? I'd love to fly a sortie when the sky is clear and return to a saturated airfield (with the grass visibly darker due to the rain).

Also, if you're flying a bomber, can the crew vomit? A bit of an odd question, I know, but I am sure that I read somewhere that due to seating arrangement in some bombers, the chaps could be in for a rough ride if violent manoevures were taken. Certainly this could affect the mission, say if a gunner was sick. It could be part of the animation too.

I would be very surprised if we saw such subtle effects in the initial release but you never know, every week there is an update I just get the sneakin suspission that Oleg and team are holding back on the goodies, I think what we are shown is just enough and not too much as to give anything away to any possible competition , he has on a few ocasions of late hinted that what is coming will blow us away and im inclined to beleive that , will we see intricacies such as wet grass glistening , wing icing , wake in the clouds tubulance and so on in the initial release I think not , but hey ... my fingers are crossed


Ill ignor the puke question for now, but ill be shure to ask my dad later
