That would be very nice bit of eye candy, but getting the physics right would be a bit tricky.

The weather effect I'd like to see is more cloud options.

1) Ability for mission builders to set percentage of cloud cover (e.g., 1 to 10 10ths).

2) Ability for mission builders to set multiple layers of clouds.

3) Ability for mission builders to place clouds in a particular sector of the map and/or in a particular location.

4) Dynamic clouds - which move, appear or disappear as set by the mission builder.

5) Different colors of clouds to represent layers of smog/coal smoke (a yellowish brown haze), fire (black or grayish smoke) and thunderheads (grayish).

6) Ability for mission builders to set transparency of clouds to represent mist or fog and control exact visibility range (in visibility out to X km/miles).

7) Larger and smaller clouds.

Different shapes of clouds to represent different cloud types.

9) Ability to set altitude at which contrails form.

10) Option to have contrails persist for shorter or longer amount of time.


Comparatively, a rainbow effect would be easy!
