Title: Weather?
Post by: Barnes828 on February 11, 2009, 04:43:20 PM
With the new terrain, do you think HTC could incorporate weather? I know this would destroy frame rate for those with lower end systems but i think it would be cool to see how different conditions would effect the performance of the aircraft.  I know precipitation is unlikely but they need to at least add clouds and fog to the MA.

Only if  they want half the people to stop there account because there PC cant handle the frame rates.

Rather then weather I would like to see air modeled like wake turbulence so you couldnt just follow entrail the way hoardes do now. NOE would be tough too because following close behind even friendlies would be more dangerous but it would suffer the same problems of adding more graphics.

it appears as if they've changed the clouds somewhat. they seem more realistic than they did a few months ago. i flew into one recently, and had cartoon IFR for a few seconds.
 on a bombing run, i actually had clouds obscure my targetg enough that a drop was impossible on that particular pass.

 a month or so ago, there was ground fog rolled in off the water onto a v-base that we had just re-captured.

i think they're doing little bits n pieces here and there...and doing it very nicely too.

Contrails would be awesome.  I know there is fog and clouds already, i think they just need to beef it up a bit

I'd like it. anything that add immersion I tend to like. just have to increase squelch buffer for the whines.

fly special events (fso's, snapshots, sec)... we get fog and clouds and nighttime... ive been in true IMC many times over the last year in special events... oh, and also wind.

as for in the MA, smpizza map has the foggy ports which can be fun..

yea,im sure the UBER gear would have to be non onboard video and at least circa 2006 processors and ram.. perish the thought. :uhoh

I still dont understand how some people can pay monthly for a game.. spending hundreds of dollars.. or more.. and insist on being able to run it on an abbicus.

Games must move forward or lose accounts also. More so than losing those that won't upgrade. While they do not need to be cutting edge there is still the requirement for immersion. Games these days can't thrive by catering to the weakest link.
