Very the clouds and weather

[nick172]

I would love to see parts of the map where clouds are at 5000 ft and solid so you can't see through them at all make them 1000 ft thick and you can't even see the ends of your wings when you are in that 1000ft ducking into clouds would mean something. Also you could run missions over or under the cloud deck or in it for that matter.  This is real life reality if your above the clouds your not seeing a plane flying under them.  Rain storms would be cool too.

They are......... You need a better graphics card.    Clouds at least.......

Although the cloud cover never falls under 13k..... At least what I have seen.  But we do also have clouds moving around at all alt's.  Pockets of them here and there.

RAIN....... Would be awesome but an FPS nightmare.

[nick172]

Logan your right we do have them but you can see through then and you should not.  If you have ever been flying in clouds you would know that when you are in them you cannot see anything under or over them.  As it is now we can, you can't duck under or into the clouds to hide

[nick172]

As it is no chance of accedently running into another plane when you are in the clouds, and your deffinatly never going to get disorianted.

You don't need clouds to get disorientated.  I can do it on the ground without a problem now.

There is one map, can't remember which, that the clouds are actually totally white and not even the plane icon is seen........


Does anybody know which that is?

[Pannono]

I think thats the Pizza (?) one with the fog at the ports

[LLogann]

Clouds at the port.... YES!!!

Im digging up this thread to avoid creating another one...

Alpha is looking great atm, but, plz, enable CLOUDS to end this depressing neverending blue-blue-blue

Clouds will grant realism to ACM and, as i know some will say "no, because I may lose some framerate", plz consider
it's 2015, not 1999 anymore,and even air warriors has clouds for a long time !
Also,  many new players  will try AHIII ; clouds will be a selling big plus !


Plz, CLOUDS for AHIII ! !!!

If you read the patch notes it does say clouds and wakes are still to be added.

I also hope they are able to use them a lot more though.  With the efficiency improvements of some things in the Alpha I'm hoping they'll get similar gains with the clouds.

I have faith they will the alpha runs very well for me currently.

They ought to throw in a mesocyclonic super cell into the mix.

ovc002 the whole map.


lets see how much everyone likes clouds then.,

[Rich46yo]

Wasnt there a map once that had rain and clouds? Or at least clouds, I remember a cloudy port. I remember something of the sort.

But be careful what you wish for. Weather is a huge systems Hog and if its written wrong then you'll end up like WW-ll OL that had one lousy cloud formation over the entire continent of Europe at 200' Alt. It would rain occasionally but mostly it was just cloud and it began a chain of events that led to the game being ruined by killing the air combat game 30% of the time.
