Of course I have to "disagree" with everything . I'm slow and would rather look at pretty clouds and ponder history than charge into my next certain death. If bombers take too long, fighters are WAY too short for me (I survive about 10 seconds). I started modeling about 5 years ago when I thought B17II, which I found absolutely immersive, had a future (to be fair, it had a warp system that was interesting, but never proved on-line).

But, after that many years working on a B24, I'm still only about 30% done with its interior.

They are not kidding when they say the effort is enormous.

Default Craters

Would really like to see an option to have bomb craters last indeffinitely.........It's a critical aspect of base attacks forcing aircraft to have to divert to other bases. I say option in that I understand the logic of them filling in....Yet it would have great value in most missions in that it adds to the realism.

In kind, a static crater "object" would be a great addition.

Bomb craters sounds like a good idea, but remember the ground crews filled the holes as fast as they could. The airbases had to be operational as soon as possible.

If bomb craters lasted for several minutes that might not be a bad thing.

Weather changes defined within the mission files. This way you take off and it's raining, when you reach specific waypoint the sky clears up. I think it's the transistion from one weather to the other that may be difficult.

Thought I'd ask

I realize this has been planned for SOW.

The scale of a crater is lost in the sim....An average crater a bomber could be lost in. You don't fill them in especially during a raid in minutes.
