Clouds

I'm part of the "circus" for one month only, the game is simply fantastic !

Thanks Hitech for this !



One thing : Clouds are excellent and well modeled in the game, but why so few ?

During WWII fights, clouds were a -big- part of the fight : why about adding more ?

Alas, frame-rate loss wasn't a big part of WWII dogfighting.

(More clouds = bigger hit to frame-rate.)

Too bad, they r really excellent...

By the way, it was a problem for most of us 5y+ ago, but now, with improved systems, it might b time
to check if it's possible ?

Adding 10% more, then 25%, just to have feedback about impact ingame... :)

Already happened. Clouds had to be massively reduced...

With my new PC, I can play on Hires textures and still get 60 frames  :rock
Clouds make that an instant 30.  :uhoh
 
:noid No more clouds for Whiskey

Alternative option: Make clouds a downloadable pack, like HiRes textures?

Welcome to AH2! Enjoy the new addiction.

<<S>> Mol,

Yea, great fights indeed, just ask Badger, i think he was hitting wall with his head at some point... :D

152 is the best to capitalise E, u just need to not let it get the full control, as it tends to be bold and likes to "force the speed limits" !  :devil

I thought the clouds were perfect.  A little here.  A little there.  I used them once to turn the tide on an La.

HTC must support those players still playing on Commodore 64s hence why the graphics still look period correct for those machines. :aok

When I was still playing on a laptop, the clouds in the MA would cause single digit frame rates.  The same thing happened in FSO, but after a few tweaks the CM's did something that gave me playable frame rates.  Whatever the CM's did for FSO should be able to be done in the MA.
