weather
« on: March 24, 2008, 12:56:53 PM »
Ya, i know it would cause alot of lagg and stuff, but still, i think it would b cool if it could accually rain, and snow, and stuff, and like if its really cold out, u gotta let your engine run for a bit to heat up, and like when your takeing off, if theres snow or water on runway u slip alittle, idk, just think it make game more fun  :D ( not that its not already, best game i ever played )

In WWII planes didn't fly in crappy weather, they were grounded. Heavy rain=grounded. Snow=grounded. Heavy winds=grounded.  Back then there was no such thing as an "all weather" fighter or bomber.

Weather played such a huge role in WWII due to it's grounding of the air forces at the time. Battle of the bulge is a good case in point. The Germans launched their ground attack during bad weather just so the allied air forces couldn't interfere.

An online flight sim in which you couldn't fly? That's a brilliant idea, really. It's absolute genius.

Weather effects don't have to effect the entire map... Maybe have one arena where the weather is turned on and the other in perma perfect weather like we "enjoy" now.

Might be an interesting idea in AvA.  A way to semi focus the fighting area.

BigBob i couldn't agree with you more, I also brought this up a while back and got bashed just the way you are.  See the problem is they aren't comprhending your post, I for one didn't read that you would like drastic adverse weather like tornados or hurricanes, white outs or monsoons.  I'm pretty sure you were you meant a little inclement weather to spice things up.  Some full blown clouds here and there to spice up the dogfighting.  And I am positive that WWII wasn't only fought in good weather.  Some folks just like to play on the easy setting though.

Let's not confuse a few clouds with extreme cold, wind, and accumulating rain or snow, which you seem to be doing.

The forecast for tonight calls for mostly Spits and La-7s, with widely scattered 109s throughout the night.
