We still have no cloud file for koth08. I'm still begging for one though.
Good news
We have clouds
68falcon stepped up and made the KOTH Team and KOTH players some clouds. Give him a Thank-you when you see him.
They are different from the old ones though and we knew there would be changes as there are with all new editors.
They seem to be thicker which will reduce or eliminate that blinding sun in the eye thing. We'll have to see how bright clouds work in the event, they looked great on a solo flight.
There is however a small gap between 6,000 feet altitude and the beginning of that cloud layer. We will have to adjust the 6k hard cap some but not much.
We will still have the 6k hard cap rule in place AND wind will start at max updraft AT 6k. Clouds are very apparent at about 6,050.
If you are fighting and go above 6,000 and DO NOT enter the clouds you will be allowed to continue.
If you are fighting and go above 6,000 and ENTER the clouds you will be disqualified and asked to bail and end flight.
You will be grounded if you do not end flight.
Again though, wind will still start right at 6k and push you up into those disqualifying clouds.
This is along the same line or logic that I use when I use the radar circle as our distance boundry opposed to the map's crater walls.
Feel free to state your opinion or comments.
