Think they'll sell more copy this way?
No?
Generating the hype wasn't for free either.
Maybe it's just about incompetent marketing managers.
No, wait - it's just a Sony

Last but not least: I would say we got some hype here, what do think?

Regarding clouds, I think Oleg mentioned some time ago that he hoped to hire a graphical artist/3rd part developer to work on the appearance of clouds after the game was released, as there were simply no time or resources to get them up to his personal standards.

Still, I think they are the best clouds we've seen in a flight sim, and will likely remain so for a while. Though they may not resemble every cloud type in the sky, they certainly do look a lot like some that I've seen.

Thats not what I remember. I believe he said he had a programmer working full time just on moving weather systems, which includes clouds. I suppose I could look thru all Olegs posts for a link, but I can't be bothered.
