Will it be possible to set cloud ceilings as part of the mission builder one day? I think it would be great to, for example, build a mission where there is a low cloud ceiling to contend with. I'm not sure where Daidolos is on developing the weather, but I thought I'd ask this.

Actually Flyby, I expect that is a step too far for the current (old) IL2 engine which struggles with some of the latest (unofficial) additions.

I would love to have multiple layers of solid cloud so that it would be possible to fly into an overcast, come out above it and have a complete solid cloud layer underneath.

The only way I can see this happening (at the moment) would be to replace the land terrain with a cloud terrain, then have air-starts only, and then you could have a a 'Blind' layer of cloud to fly up and through, which would give the appearance of two layers of cloud that you are flying between. The problem then being, if you get shot down you would explode on the ground 'cloud' layer

Multiple cloud layers are something I hope to see in SoW though for sure!

hi MP,
If ya don't ask, they can't tell ya "no". I've actually posted a similar question in "ask Oleg". I'd sure like to see that happen (probably more so than all the work on the ground vehicles).
Flyby out

It's a fair point. I can appreciate that the detail being added is incredible, but I'd much rather have incredible environments to fly in first, then have uber detailed stuff to blow up and strafe on the ground. So cloud layers, sky boxes and weather effects (snow,rain, hail on the cockpit) are what I'm looking for initially.

Cross-fingers TD can do the cloud-layers....but It's wishful and hopeful thinking I think

Cheers, MP

I would like to see, in future patches, is much more of the AI planes becoming flyable.
eg. Storch, B-17, B-29, C-47, some of the earlier planes, etc. (Or in my case, I'd like to see ALL of the AI planes flyable.)

Hehe... who wouldn't?

Maybe this is totally impossible but I will ask anyway:-

Is it possible for AI crewmembers on a bomber to warn you when they see a con? I would have thought in real life the pilot would have some warning before he hears the guns open up. While it would be great to have 'Tail gunner here. Contacts at 7 0'clock!', just a simple anonymous 'Contacts skipper!' would be useful. Just one warning when a contact first gets close enough for the gunners to start swivelling.

I know it sounds impossible but I worked in IT for a long time and frequently people came to me with a request that started 'It probably isn't possible but..' and it was something that was actually quite trivial. Conversely I also used to get requests that started with 'I just need a simple fix' that turned out to be near impossible Anyone would think having airstarts above 2000m would be trivial but I believe you when you say it isn't

[Roblex]

Here is a request that sounds easy but you will probably tell me is hard to do

Can we have marker flares? I mostly fly bombers or Jabo in goal driven servers such as Warclouds and with the graphical limitatations of IL2 sometimes it can be hard to see where the target is early enough to get lined up and dial in the bombsight settings. It would be great if a Mosquito could dive in at low level before the bombers and drop marker flares or smoke bombs to mark the target. If we had a loadout that produced the same sort of tower of smoke a crashed plane does but in red or blue it would help the bombers greatly.

Just some random thoughts for 4.11
