I do have a rig that will run the game at full settings thats 4 years old. I'd love to get a new system for other games. I'm finding it's much easier to pump $15 a month instead of $1,100 once.

How about specific sections of the map, designated to certain types of weather. Heavy clouds, Rain, Fog, Snow, Night, Fronts. That way people with older machines would not be forced to put up with it. And people who would like could go into these specific areas.

We really need weather and night time. I vote for both! We miss them in bombing missions!

Games have to move forward in some direction some time.  As you might lose more player base, you have the potential to gain new and more player based depending on game graphics.  Graphics aren't everything, but when I'm reading about or watching something on a new upcoming game, you're going to see the graphics first (as you can't experience the gameplay yet), reaching a new audience.  But I'll cut this short as this bee hive has been rattled many a times in the past.

Yeah.  Bad weather grounded aircraft and cancelled missions.  

Sounds fun.  Not.

Could someone please post some pics or film of the realistic weather we're supposed to have had in AH1? I only saw clouds and fog, but I didn't start until tour 23, so maybe there was rain in beta.

There wasn't.  There were only those dark, heavily clouded storm fronts in AHI.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Yeah I wasn't suggesting to develop this whole new weather system with rain streaming off windscreen and snow collecting on the runways, just the fairly simple system we had in AH1.

The usual explanation is that aircraft wouldn't be up in bad weather. Weather is dynamic in real life, though.

An old flight instructor told me once, that in peacetime nobody has to fly in bad weather.
Having said that, weather was often used as a cover for missions, for both side. Unfortunately many pilots on both sides paid for it too with their lives.
I'd like to see more dynamic weather. It's more of a challenge.:aok
