Weather Effects

Do you think the game can have Weather Effects in Aces High like in "Microsoft Flight Simulator" were they have a weather simulation, along with the ability to download real-world weather data.

I swear if I hear one comment on frame rate I will personally throw your computer and DOS OS out the window

You can't do nuttin!

[Pigslilspaz]

It would be more like "rain drops frozen in time" on your windshield.

i want micro bursts, i want micro bursts

nothin quite like coming in on final and suddenly your plane stalls out violently due to unforseen weather phenomenon.

go ahead and throw some 30 knot crosswind in just for kicks an giggles, its alot of fun when u dont have a rudder

I don't know much about what causes fps to be affected, but for the most part, the viewable weather changes would be thicker cloud cover and different colored skies / clouds.  I have seen what USRanger and Chewi have done with the new cloud editor to simulate sandstorms on a desert terrain.   I am aware that once color of clouds is set it doesn't change, so as good as this all sounds and would be nice to see, I think that Special Events and Axis versus Allies Maps are the only terrains small enough to implement a map wide variance in cloud content, without favoring a single country and not the other (have had a fog bank over an enemy port in the MA and boy was it tough to attack).

Also, a very good place to do some experimenting is with WWI maps.  A good place to hide from the 3 bad guys tearing you to pieces.

I would like to see the 200 mph wind used as a cap over TT to prevent high level pickers and bombing on GVs and furballers.  I do not think the wind would effect frame rates what so ever.  Perhaps 6,000 feet or so to 30k....
