Some wind, turbulence and ground effect turbulence would be good.

Post by: ebfd11 on March 03, 2009, 01:36:10 PM: What would be nice would be to have weather fronts just like in real life... no rain but to have clouds move more than they do... granted they would probably hinder high level bombing .. but didnt that happen in real life????

Post by: AWwrgwy on March 03, 2009, 05:41:10 PM: The problem with 'weather' is can it be coaded to be dynamic? Shifting winds at different altitudes and times vs. 20km/hr from the west at 2K feet.

Vortices, updrafts, downdrafts, shifting to the east, then back.

Weather isn't really weather.

I have no experience with computer 'weather' though.

Yes... the momentary shake of turbulence would be most uncomfortable in your office chair... :huh

Turbulence and wind would really make things interesting and the added challenge would be awesome. Plus I think it'd be fun to watch dogfights drift off in an arbitrary direction as the wind blows... :P
