Good post. A while back I saw similar observations in a SimHQ thread, hopefully dynamic weather & rain etc will be added and/or enabled in a future patch. You have a good PC system listed in your sig which should capably handle (I would hope, anyway!) the extra graphic load. I believe a major concern with clouds & weather is the major frame rate hit on less aggressive machines. We'll see if the devs can further optimize the coding to reduce, if not eliminate, this potential deal breaker for many.

As your screenshots & commentary clearly show, there's a huge untapped dimension to CoD which will add tremendously to the challenge and immersion of this sim.

There's quite a dramatic change in how the landscape looks with some more solid clouds. I do some experimemting from time to time, just for fun. The frame rate hit is massive with heavy clouds, but the game looks really good.

Gorgeous shots, Jaws. If the clouds gave a big frame rate hit to YOUR system, then what chance for us mere mortals? LOL

Very nice indeed. Lets hope it runs well after the new graphics engine ....take the time you need devs. That would be awesome.
