Title sais it all, wouldn't it be cool to fight in the snow? Or, imagine...
Imagine if you were heading into a fight, and a big dark cloud rolls over, and then suddenly CLASH! Thunder, lightning, and rain, were surrounding you, and it's nearly impossible to see. That would be nice.
OR maybe high winds, interfering with your plane.
Maybe hurricanes... Tornados
Maybe it's winter time... there could be frost on your wingtips, and snow no runways... etc. etc.
I'm just asking, because
something like this would be really neat! :aok
-
I second it. Have like cold fronts and everything. If it gets hot your engine will overheat faster in Emergency Power. It'd make white bomber skins like default if it was snowing.
-
Yea, that'd be cool... snow would be pretty fun, and when you try to land... well, it won't be easy.
-
GGGAAA ice on the runway! :O
*Boom*
-
As a futher push to realizism I think the weather is a important addition.
We already see the clouds that are in arenas. But I do agree, that different weather changes would only add and be a big plus.
-
that would be cool

HOLY FRAMERATES, BATMAN!!

:rofl :lol :lol :lol :rofl very true...plus that would mean ANOTHER patch wouldn't it?
-
As much as I love the idea, it would totally destroy most of our FR's.

Earthquakes , Twisters , snow storms , hurricanes and Tidal waves:D

I'd love to fly right in the center of a tornado !!!!!!!!!!!!! and a hurricane!!!!!!!! Cant wait to get my body ripped apart by two massive forces.
-
"Get my body ripped apart by forces" I love that line!!
I think that the Sim is probably at a crossroad on the performance scale and hardware that you simply have to get. for example if you use Flight Sim X you need top of line hardware to run it properly.
I think that evenutally for this sim to development the Hardware here will be more & more demanding.
I know you want to open a market for users that dont have the hardware so they can have account. But the question I have is where is the line between that. I would think that this sim could be made were to need a top of line video card to run and a smoking mobo!
I still think that this is a top of line sim and has the vast potential probably to be the best on the market!!
Good hunting and watch those tornadoes!!!
-
When you see the Red Sea aparting I think that is the limit!!!

Bring back those mesmerizing, stroboscopic, swirling clouds of AH 1
-
I remember clouds in AH1 beeing a very important player in the action. They were very nice, giving that uncertainty factor to a bomber mission or playing an important role providing cover for fighters and an extra challenge.
Maybe the code could be optimized to "eat" less FR...Also it would be nice that the several kinds of clouds could be represented in a given arena simultaneously, at different altitudes, to provide different ceilings - and fog, ocasionally - circling around the arena in a slow, lazy circle...
I'm not going as far as modelling ice, hail or rain...although it would be nice! Hail storms would be easy to reproduce: just a matter of using the .303's modelling in a vertical drop...

I think you are right! The weather is a very important part of this sim!
Bomber runs and cloud cover was always a factor.
Understanding that your mission might be a sucess or failure could depend on the weather.
I understand the frame rates but like I said above, there is a point when you will have to upgrade.
-
What ever happened to wind? Wasn't it modeled in at one point? It seems to have disappeared. So did the storm fronts that once moved across the maps (really just banks of dark clouds). Here's another idea: Cumulous cloud turbulance. Imagine trying to hit someone bouncing through the cloud (although it may make for a great defensive strategy).
-
I think wind would be the best addition to the game :)
-
i have thought that it would be cool to throw the weather in the game for quite a while
i just think that it would be cool to get hit by lightning and your plane goes crazy

rain might.
would heavy fog or dense cloud cover?
i have always thought that it would be more realistic if bombing missions would have to be scrubbed due to weather over target. (of course, we could have rudimentary weather reports)
nighttime appearing every few days in one of the arenas.
bland toast right now.
the ground tiles are wayyyyyy better, but the atmosphere is still pretty stark.
-
Tornadoes?
What are you wanting, half the arena blown to OZ?
I guess we could furball with the flying monkies, after all they DO fly just like the Niki

Back on one of the big maps (never remember the names), there was always a lot of cloud cover over one of the VB's in one of those VB chains making it almost impossible to see it from over the cloud cover until the very last second. I missed that one more often than not as I couldn't correct in time for the hit. We need a little more of that. Those dark cloud fronts I mentioned earlier in this thread also caused similar problems. You had to come in under them to see the target.

OMG, 109 airframe icing is SO undermodeled!!!1:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :furious :furious

Go look out Duh. He modeled a terrain with Lightning! Really cool!
-
imagine flying one of those HUGE mission sorties, u know the ones were FR hits 0 to -2, and having a huge T-storm come by and absolutley destroy ur frame rates.

Rain - Yes
Snow - Yes
Changing winds - YES (been wanting this for a while! wind in AH currently blows... especially in H2H where it is never used)
Lightning - Yes
Changing clouds - y not
Hurricanes/Tornadoes - NO, will NEVER happen either
would be great to see some windshield wipers modeled too
