Will Variable Wind Direction and Strength be Moddelled in Sow?

We'll all have to learn flying from scratch, when BoB is released.

And won't it be nice

Well I've been trying the wind mod from AAA...and it is really good...

Previously the AI were useless at decision making but petty much by the book at flying...but with this the field is leveled...watching them crabbing along across the wind is fun....and the wind takes them well off-course from their assigned waypoints...they act like rookies as if they don't know what wind is and how to react to it......lol

Hey Feuerfalke, nice job posting the DVD stuff....I was thinking of doing the same thing, but I was struck by a sense of apathy (LOL). Its nice to see your taking the time....

Hi all,

In clear weather you can navigate with reference to ground features. But over the sea, in cloud or at night that is not an option.

The BoB was fought in daylight and only over a small section of sea (The English Channel).

But as SoW progresses, navigation will become more of an issue IMHO.

I was hoping that we might get a night sky that we could navigate by in the new "BoB SoW" game engine. I was hoping that in the future we could plan out and navigate by the stars during our night bombing missions over Germany. It would be cool if constellations where properly represented for your place on the map and the time of day (or night as the case may be)... I asked about this and Oleg said "maybe in the future...its to soon to say".
