Weather Tests - Not for the middle or low end PC

Thanks Wolf. Even my machine had difficulty handling the larger weather formations. Renders OK, no stutters, but a lag in reading cockpit inputs like flaps, throttle changes etc. Oh, and there's no rain with the thunderstorm Lets hope the new patch improves fps enough that we can start to have some variable weather in online missions.

Probably a lot to ask, but any chance for a You Tube clip?

Weather example -Thunderstorm
Start with thunderstorm on starboard side & clear weather on port side. Note how canopy frosts over & engine dies trying to climb through the thunderstorm clouds.

Weather example -Overcast with breaks
Breaks in cloud, easier on engine than thunderstorm.

I can only imagine that with the current particle rendering issues that this is just awful

You can fix that by using the carburator ("carburettor") heat, which has no key binding by default, so you have to do that first.

The carb heat will clear the ice from the air intake, you should hear the engine slow down a bit while you hold the carb heat key for a few seconds and then come back to life even in the thickest of clouds.

Thanks for those Youtube clips, Salmo! I tried stacking clouds in FMB awhile ago but it killed my framerates when I flew it. Hopefully the recoding will overcome this.

In your trials, did you notice if the heavy clouds actually concealed the other plane? With the little puffballs we have now other aircraft show through very noticeably.

S!
