Bring Weather Back Perhaps...?

[mike254]

I would love to see weather put back in the game as well as night time. Every other flight simulator I have seen has it.

I would also like to see animated water back in. I have no idea why they took it out. You could un-check it if it was messing with your frame rate. The water we have now is just down right crappy. The animated water actually looked like it was moving. I would show you a picture if I could find one.. I'll go through my screenshots later.

Hopefully we're making some sort of an impact!

Um...I'd like to make a note...HTC most likely got rid of weather because they spent a great effort on making the new weather system that few saw because it "hung" the server upon map reset. After that we never saw it again. Was funny though; it was the middle of the night and Skuzzy came blundering in after being called about it, forgetting to disable the burgler alarm. He had to sit and wait for the cops with his ID, IIRC.

Of course, it could have been a dream...

Perhaps there is a way to disable it or "start shutting it down" during the 5 minute buffer between map changes so that it won't hang the server.  Or am I misunderstanding completely?  My somewhat narrow knowledge of servers makes me believe that if you had the server execute the end of the weather system first, and then change maps, it could fix hanging.  However, I have no idea how these servers are set-up.

   I agree.   A room with heavier weather would favor certain tactics and make the game more interesting, and probably MORE realistic.  It certainly sounds more interesting than the massive fiasco that occurs every "Titanic Tuesday".

I love Titanic Tuesday when I get to play in it
Don't be dissin' my stroll down memory lane dude!

Weather was removed for the same reason as Night Time was.


Whiners.  A few big pansy whiners who felt like their lack of perfect sky 100% of the time furballing was ruining the game.


If Weather and Night time were BOTH reinstated, I would be a subscriber for life, as well as send HT a nice bottle of scotch.

But still, the squeeky wheel gets the oil.

Why do they only do night once a year though? They should do it more often. I'm sure HTC probably enjoys it as much as the players do.

Do they do it more then once a year? I dont think so but they should do it like once every month on a Titanic Tuesday for like 3 hours or something. I was never around for AHI and Night. I only started playing during tour 78 or tour 79.

I say, bring the weather! But, not during Titanic Tuesday, as there is enough lag already.

2nd, might be too much for the servers.
