I miss clouds
« on: July 14, 2002, 11:18:06 PM »
Clouds weather was one of the coolest things about this game terrain/map wise.   It is terribly missed and regardless of map under it - this game is not the same.

Not trying to stir the pot or troll a thread (and please dont turn it into that) - I really really just miss the clouds.  That is all.

Check out the Burma terrain next time it appears in the CT.

We had the BEST kind of clouds - groups of cumulus large enough
to play Hide and Seek in/around.

It was fantaastic!

I would guess they just weren't incorporated into the current desert map... hopefully we will see them again in future maps - I loved them too.

I believe weather can be turned on/off independent of the terrain. Suspect clouds are off in the current terrain due to the high elevation areas.

Ya know, this might just be a method of 'closing' some of the fields effectively making the map smaller.

Thats not how it works, there is an AH Weather editor which you must use to add clouds TO the map, not an option u can turn on and off, and yes I REALLY miss clounds & geographic maps :(

I have played around with the weather though it's been a long time. My point was that clouds could have been added (turned on) by HTC and yet they weren't. This was due to a reason and since I'm guessing, I'll guess it was as I mentioned, the high elevation fields.

altitude has nothing to do with it.

I live and work above 8,500 feet and there are plenty of clouds here.

Altitude has nothing to do with what? I believe that in Aces High cloud height is set for altitude above sea level and they don't adjust based on ground elevation. Unless they were set to be above 13k, some fields would be rendered unusable.

yes!!! somone else thought about fog!!!
i posted a few ideas in the gameplay/feedback forum a while back about fog. wouldn't it make sense for coastal bases to be fogged in every now and again?
im guessing it would be very hard to model realistically like the "fog of war" in some other games around. (so that it obscures your view 1000 away but not right in front of you) it would aslo put a major hit on frame rates i think :(
but it still would be UBER COOL:D
