how much money?

how much scotch?

whats it take to persuade HTC that they are not enhancing gameplay or funfactor or realism?

Just fly low with the rest of us.

I don't care for it much either.

hehehe it's one thing i used to, and still do actually, think was modeled just.... wrong whine .

i'm all for losing it, or doing it right.

Hehe, yep, you can sure tell by the way they model the wind they don't have much for real stick time.

HT, I'd suggest getting your PPL. I don't think you understand when you pass through different wind layers the direction your nose is pointed doesn't 'turn' with the wind, only your flight path does in relation to the ground. You never notice it visually quite like you do in AH. It's got to be the most annoying thing in AH IMO.

No no no ZP... and no. Do you have any idea how ANNOYING wind layers are when attempting a jabo? I've learned to adjust to the layers while jaboing... but they still sometimes end up throwing my ordnance a few hundred miles off target

or even diving at a steep angle for a buff attack and having my gunsight knocked another hundred miles off target. They're annoying, but livable. If they go, woohoo!, if they dont, oh well

... There are wind layers in AH?

Duckwing6 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 16, 2002, 06:16:40 AM »

i find the idea great.. the implementation needs to be worked on tho.

actually it's not the wind-layers per-se but rather the boundary between different wind layers which is way to sharp and makes too drastic a change in direction and speed and therfore seems unrealistic.

-> flying lots and lots in RL trying to find out what direction and speed the winds have from ground to 15000 feet so i drop my jumpers at the right spot... and even if there's drastic windshear at times (at altitude) it's hardly as noticeable and usually is acompannied by a layer of turbolence rather than these sharp edge windlayers that we have here

Improve the model, or turn em off.

I believe the clouds would not move without the wind layers.

Relax, its just a game.

Yeah remove windlayers and add propwash

I agree the wind in AH seems a bit wierd at times and can in some aircraft make them seem uncontrolable when taking off(P51) while others experience little or no effect.

Even a 15knot crosswind can make the nose of your aircraft shift direction sharply while taking off which the lighter aircraf I have flown is noticeable but no uncontrollable like it happens many times in AH.

Also, they could model convective turbulence inside wind layers like the OVC layers we see in AH and maybe just maybe make them a bit lower and make them reduce the visibility to instrument conditions.
