Clouds, weather, sun and sky upgrade...
« on: January 29, 2006, 05:22:30 PM »
Upgrading the plane models is all nice especially the cockpits as you see them alot..

But in fact what you see the most when flying is the sky.

Updating the sky graphics would do the most to upgrade the overall graphical feel of the game.

Not only are the looks of the sky objects really outdated graphics wise but the overlapping texture images are showing so well creating strange "edges". At least some anti aliasing is needed.

Then having something that reasambles weather would be nice and not only sun all the time. Some variations in the overcast would be nice. I dont mean in the thin could layer but having a true overcast now and then would be nice.

I know snow and rain can be sencetive issues as they would tend to impact more on gameplay and fps so Im not asking for that... just some overcast... but rain and snow would be cool .... ;)

I like the idea of OverCast skies. Maybe add some lightning to it as well. Just a few like ever min or so. Make it look really stormy. But I see the point in no rain or snow, cuz it would probably drop FPS. HTC also needs to fix the sun, cuz when my plane goes over the sun, the sun is covering my plane. Just a little bug there.
