Title: FSO: 1000 Miles (Aleutians) - Weather Frame 2
Post by: ghostdancer on March 18, 2008, 09:57:05 AM

Gentlemen,

Here is the weather update for frame 2. Weather should be considerably better in frame 2 than frame 1. In frame 1 basically you were fighting in a storm from (everything grey). Frame 2 is what might pass a good weather day in the Aleutians.

Visibility is 9 miles (frame 1 was 8 miles).
Clouds still at 15K - 16K
Winds up at 15K and above are now at 40 mph.

Here is a screen shot of how the arena should look for you all on Friday.

Now in regards to visibility. 1760 yards is equal to a mile.

Icon visibility is short, that is 3000 yards (1.7 miles). The MA norm for icon range is 6000 yards (3.41 miles), which we don't use in FSO (we accidentally had it set to normal icon range (6K) in frame 1.

So dots should appear to you at 9 miles (15840 yards) and icons at 1.7 miles (3000 yards).

Btw the max visibility setting is 17 miles (29920). The default setting for terrains is 14 miles (24640).

So the weather and the more more steel blue color the sky should still give you a sense of the setting and keep the altitude down since finding ships should be harder and level bomb will be hard from anything but low to mid alt.

This ends your FSO weather update.

Okay give me a second.
