Icons/clouds
« on: July 10, 2010, 11:39:31 AM »
Would love for Icons and such to be nonvisable when entering clouds or fog (maybe seen alittle depending on how thick the fog or cloud is).  When entering clouds you shouldn't be able to see planes or icons especially in clouds.    Fog you may see to a certain distance depending on how thick the fog maybe.

That would be a great additions to maybe FSO? This may be a plus for pickers though, which as most people know, i am TOTALLY against.

Would be nice to have, but then wouldn't it cause whines about the clouds making it impossible to see?

Just go no icons.  Then it would  be the aircraft itself disappearing behind the clouds.  Also Its hard to pick if you have to make sure of aircraft identification prior to engaging.  Of course there would be complaints because so many would probably be shooting down them selfs with kill shooter on.

I have trouble telling the Bish Spits from the Nit Spits from the Rook Spits?

Solution?  So I can pick.
