Title: Clouds
Post by: earl1937 on March 08, 2013, 04:27:38 PM

 :airplane: I know that AH was trying out some "clouds" and I flew through them and thought they would add a touch of class to the game. But, I guess everyone was complaining about their frame rate and I guess the clouds are no longer being considered.
Does anyone on the AH staff have a comment about what is going on with the clouds.

Last I heard they were trying to fix the problem. Maybe we'll get a fix in the next update!

I had to go from motherboard video processor to fly through the clouds.  Even with a good although not a great card, I still can't bump map the worst of them in the center of tank island.  With bump map off I can stay near 60fps. 

Seems like when I first saw the puffy clouds in maybe December, they were much higher and away from the ground detail.  When the clouds were high it did not knock the fps down so bad as it does near the ground.
