Fair post Dano, the reason why i have been less subtle (if thats possible) with my comments on the terrain is that Oleg as stated that the game is effectively finished, just ironing out the bugs, now Oleg did promise Terrain better than WOP, and like I have already pointed out that it may well be the case that we will get wonderful terrain, but, and i stress but, the terrain we have seen recently from altitude is IMHO very poor.

That's the trouble though isn't it, technically it is better than WoP, it has a far greater draw distance, more realistic palette etc etc, it just doesn't currently 'look' as nice, so even the term 'better than' is entirely subjective to what exactly you are comparing it to.
The other point to consider is that we have only currently seen static screens of the landscape and sometimes they do not do any justice whatsoever at all to a game in motion.

There are so many bum lickers over there its untrue." Philip_ed SimHQ Member "You're not isolated Tree. It's just that, at the Banana forum, the moment you post a slight critique they start to ram their thoughts down your throat and call you names etc. Those guys need to get a life."

What a bunch of women. Is there anyone at all who would like to discuss the sim? Some of us find logical discourse useful. Others think 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here' is highly educational. Which camp are you in? Last edited by ATAG_Dutch; 10-04-2010 at 12:19 AM.

Right on, I come here to discuss the sim and aircraft, I get the sense that some folks on here should take a break from this forum and wait until the sim comes out.

I'd like to know if flying through clouds will affect the weathering model of the planes. I mean, will we see the planes glisten with water after flying through a rain-cloud (do all clouds carry some form of precipitation?) and if so, if the plane had bits flaking off, would this cause them to stick to the surface? The cloud part of this question is purely coincidental; I am not some clouds nut!
 Also, I doubt what I have said will be able to feature, but the aspect I'm focusing on is the effect of flying through clouds and also the limitations of the weathering system.Did Oleg ever answer whether the terrain would be affected by the weather? I'd love to fly a sortie when the sky is clear and return to a saturated airfield (with the grass visibly darker due to the rain). Also, if you're flying a bomber, can the crew vomit? A bit of an odd question, I know, but I am sure that I read somewhere that due to seating arrangement in some bombers, the chaps could be in for a rough ride if violent manoevures were taken. Certainly this could affect the mission, say if a gunner was sick. It could be part of the animation too.

Ok I would like to withdraw my comment about the terrain looking like its been painted by a child, i guess it was a bit harsh, if that as upset any of the devs then i apologise.
