New Clouds!!! :D

[Strollin]

Posted this in another thread but I wanted to see what other people think of the clouds...

"I must say that (before they were shut down due to whine) the new clouds were absolutely orgasmic!!!! Sure I lost about 25 FPS however was still playable for my semi-low end system. HD radion 4600/ 4GB Ram/ 2.81ghz processor.

I believe that the clouds add so much more realisim to the game even though they may cause a lot of frustraition to bombers attempting to line up on a target or to pilots who loose the enemy in the clouds only to be greeted with him on your six. I believe they will change game play entirely and I can't wait to see how it turns out

+1 for the clouds.

Maybe we could get the Icons to dissapere or decrease with cloud cover? Similar to tanks with engines off or under a tree?"

That doesnt make sense you can disable them.

HTC disabled them due to whine on 200. It's pretty freaking sweet, I was in a P-51 hiding in the clouds and waiting for a break to reveal a low contact. They never saw it coming

Keep the clouds!!!

unfortunately HTC has to decide if they want people to upgrade their hardware, or if they have to stay on current graphics level 4ever

Being able to disable clouds will make them pointless. No one in their right mind would have them on as they could be a significant disadvantage. They should be forced on or removed altogether. If you can gain an advantage by turning off stuff like engine sounds, ground clutter and other visual effects, people will do so.

<sigh> never saw them. Hear they looked great tho.

The are still active in the 10,7 sector.

Some players went from about 30 fps to less the 10. This is unacceptable, and I have no idea why they would impact someone so drastically, so I wish to find out why before turning them back on.

  I vote YES for clouds.

Even with graphics turned all the way down?

yes i only get a frame rate of 7 with it turned all the way down

[Drano]

I never bothered to mess with it but can they be turned on for offline play?

Thought the clouds were significant improvement.  Sorry they are turned off but it is understandable. Hope they comeback albeit a time or two they played against me.
