When I get back home this weekend I'll give these missions a try. A few months ago I tried some realistic weather and I ended up with a framerate in the low teens. Was not impressed with the looks of it either. I was hoping for flying around towering cumulonimbus. It was more like a thick cottonball stratus layer from a thoudsand feet to 5000 feet. I liked the second video weather. If they can get that kind of cloud coverage with good framerates after the next patch I'll be a happy camper.

Thanks for the pics wolf, I can't wait for this to work.
Hopefully the next patch will make it useable on the ATAG server ![]()

why should the sim struggle with clouds when every other sim manages clouds that look 100 times better than this? I really question the coding in this game.

It's a bug that was introduced a few patches back, I expect it will be another thing sorted by the new graphics engine which is why it hasn't been fixed yet.

It's not just cloud graphics but a whole weather system generator. Lots of stuff going on behind the curtains. Not sure if that is a smart thing with todays hardware but if they get it to work properly it could be brilliant. Weather related accidents killed more pilots in WWII than enemy action. It also altered targets and screwed up missions in progress. Realistic weather will make, transport, recon and other "non combat" missions more interesting. Be fun making a mision and putting in historic weather including high and low pressure areas and warm and cold fronts with the coresponding cloud formations. Probably 5 years away as far as hardware is considered but nice to know it could be done at some point. |
