realistic Wind and Weather

[Traveler]

AH is spending all this time and effort on water, we don't fly in the water.   How about realistic weather , with clouds?  Wind that is based on real weather.

Is there some manner of eureka moment when someone reads one thread, they want to have an equivalent one of their own

Really, there is a thread asking for wind and weather, weather like rain showers and realistic clouds.  Sorry, didn't see it before I posted , if it exists.

also you might try a better graphic card.   that's where most of the new graphic features will be processed .   You will still get your 60 FPS.

I am against turbulence and realistic clouds because virtual "realistic" weather is probably very annoying IMHO. I tried weather effects in IL2 1946 couple of times and couldn`t stand it. Flying a fighter in turbulence there felt similar to the pt boat swell effect we had a while ago. The effect could be made a bit more random, but you can bet it happens just as you get your sight on the enemy. Think of a low twisting evasive Fw190 that is all over the place and add some random bumps that throw your aim off some more. I know what I would be like  . In reality turbulence is more fun because you can feel the aircraft move. In a simulator it is just a twitching screen and it is not that thrilling.

Adding clouds could create situations where you can sneak up on the enemies and force them to fight with nowhere to run. At the same time there could be situations where your enemies see you first and turn away before you see them or they sneak up on you and shoot without you even seeing them, so no "real fight". More hide and seek, but I can live with that.

If realistic weather should come I wish there would be a realistic forecast available so that I could see before logging in what the weather will be like in the game and decide if I want to play that time or not.

The the adoption of Shader 3.0 being required to play AH it is entirely possible that we'll see optimized weather effects that can be used by HTC with little or no frame rate impact.

There is a big cheese thread???  I was in several different threads where different subjects were discussed, this room however is for the purpose of requesting changes to the game by making a wish.  All other rooms are just discussions.

wind and turbulence should be saved for fso and scenarios.  Moving, random, and dynamic clouds on the other hand is a big winner for me.  Of course, a nice weather forcast or current cloud condition information would be a very much appreciated touch.

"i like this game dying because some people want the airplane to jump all over the place without landing a single shot"

you want to simulate weather making your airplane jump all over the place just dont calibrate your joystick and pedals.  it will be the same thing.

You must really hate change or have a really terrible computer because when anything comes to eye candy you start crying and making utterly stupid suggestions. We can see that a pure dog fighting arena will NOT get people to play (cough* WW1 cough*). Also War thunder while however crap it may be in terms of flight model gets way more players than aces high because of immersion and eye candy.

You know, I never see you in game. Matter of fact half of the people on this board are not in game ever. Yet they always have to put in their two cents and how ramble on about how change is bad and eye candy is for noobs.

I say we need this in game:

*windows that are not perfect, put some scratches on them it makes it more realistic.
*Some shaking when you start the engine up
*Weather which includes rain/snow/wind
*Some scratches on flight instruments. Not so they can't be seen but to add to immersion.
*Better sound engine, 3d engine placement, flak that actually sounds like flak, a default sound pack that doesn't sound like garbage, etc
*Better lighting (I believe this is already getting done).
