There's wind now?

Kudos to HTC for keeping the game fresh.

Look at the post right above mine. The part where it says "drastic". 

Agreed that it needs more buffer between each zone so the gust's of wind aren't so drastic.

20 MPH horizontal wind shear is not drastic, I don't believe it's even considered significant as long as you aren't near the ground.

You're the first person I've heard mention "drastic".  Many have mentioned transition.  IE: 0 to 20mph in the distance of 1 vertical-foot.

 

Since we're getting litteral, the drastic gusts/transition or the wind is drastic?

If you are at a direct headwind or tailwind, the automatic bombsight will compensate. If it is at a crosswind, it will not.

And that expalins a lot about the hours I wasted/tested this weekend with confusing/founding results.  Thanks Spikes!

Found the cross wind bomb sight bub.

It is fixed for the next patch.

Hotpatch, please

i have a question ,not with the winds but with the clouds,does anyone else have a rapid frame rate drop when flying thru them? i go from 60 to 10 its like flying with a strobe light going off in my cockpit

  Gonna put my money where my mouth is after reading my post. Fun is gone, I am out. Will come back if they work it out. 9 years, pft...

Let me be the first to say: Don't forget your ball and don't let the door scrape the backs of your ankles on the way out.  Oh, and go back to school to learn how to read.  HTC has said they are working on the "bug" and it will correct the issue in the next patch. 

It has been awhile since a new version of AH has caused THIS much drama.  Damn.

Years ago I thought it would be awesome to have a real world weather environment like Real Envoronment Extreme for FS9/FSX but within flying minimums/maximums as per real WW2 flying operations. So that a thunderstorm wouldn't ground everyone.

Of course those running 10 year old computers would complain but it would be a great yup
enhancement to have real variable weatjeer.
Maybe we could have two arenas one for those
that keep up with technology in cpu/gpu's and those that still expect 60fps on their 10 year old business desktops.

Thunderstorm with raining sheep?

the fact that such a major bug "bombing is broken" could go into production in the MA is consterning. Loosing customers over this is a given.

Absolutely amazing, since the bug has existed for at least 3 or 4 years.

If customers quit every time their bombs missed...

"loosing"?

The bug only affects anyone if he is bombing when his bomber is experiencing a side wind.  For years, there has been no wind in the Main Arena, so in that case, there is nothing to notice. In scenarios, we routinely put it in wind specifically to make things more realistic and to make bombing harder.  We didn't know it was a bug -- to us, it was something we liked.

that's even worst!

yeah that was the next question in my head, if anyone actually used wind all these years lol

Try disabling cloud bump mapping.

And as far as I know, using the manual (harder) calibration does account for side-drift...and we tend to use manual calibration often.

That is correct, the bug was only with the auto calibration.
