I would be a good idea to have extense cloud layers covering big zones of the map, and darkening a lot the terrain below them. And having some storm effects below these cloud layers, like rays and lightings. So, simulating real bad weather. Also placing some clouds at very low alt (imagine A1 surrounded by 5k clouds). Another good feature would be to implement some kind of weather report in the map.

Yeah a weather report would be good, even one of those orange wind direction thingy's that you see on runways.

Nexx,
Just pull back the cockpit hood lick your finger and put it out of the cockpit That will tell you the wind direction.

I posted about this before the game went to pay.....I think it would be great as well...the only thing will be the havoc it causes on low end systems. Maybe in the next few years with broadband and Geforce cards become standard they will be able to.
Can you imagine ...." Uh sqaudron, redirect flight to alternate landing field, seems we have an ice storm at A5"

Heh that would take care of the A1 problem.

"Flights 001 to 499, please divert to alternative field, A1 closed due to snow. Flights 500-999, take off clearance denied, snow on runway"
