Title: It doesn't Blow
Post by: Slate on August 11, 2009, 11:23:23 AM

  What happened to the Wind? When AH first came out I do believe it was part of the enviroment. There is still section on the clipboard that shows windspeed and direction. My memory is sketchy but wasn't there rain also?
 
Are these elements too difficult to add to the already complex programming?

  Seems it would add challenge to the pin point Bombing we have now.  :)

I'd prefer to see the Northern Lights.

A giant gaping hole in the servers that swallows up everything? That could be fun.

Too many people would probably threaten to quit over it cuz bombing would be "too hard".  I kinda wish they'd bring in a little wind and manual calibration - make the bombers have to actually do something other than hold a button for a couple of seconds and then release their LGB's. 

They sometimes have wind in special events, but I doubt you'll see wind in the mains anytime soon (if ever).

where did u get that photo, or more like where was it taken.  Last time i was a dust storm was in 1998 in western kansas.  It went from day to night for about 40 mins.

There was a rolling fog bank in the LW blue arena last night...pretty cool.
