Title: PLEASE SIR, CAN I HAVE SOME MORE CLOUDS?
Post by: Preacher on February 08, 2001, 06:49:00 PM

All you wonderful lads out there editing terrain for H2H, are you able to add more clouds? Clouds seem to add a whole new dimension to the sense of flight and fight for me and V1957. Just a big pat on the back for those of you who have the time to develop new terrains, especially clouds.

i think I remember HT saying he would be working on multiple cloud layers soon. I'm sure they'll rock.

The CM Terrain Team is working on this.  Stay tuned.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I too love clouds, and I think that fighting in them adds a whole new element to online flight sims.

The biggest problem however is that people with minimal systems (and some with below that, that still play), take huge frame rate hits on what is already minimal fps.

A compromise as to be done between not cloud (like currently) and overcast (like where I live  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)). I don't recall of any cloud fight since ... 2/3 month.

We need pilots to fly bombers too.

Hey, 10bears created the Russian Front with massive clouds at all layers, I had BETTER frame rate than the main arena, probably due to the overall size of the map though.

Them clouds sure can screw up a good buff run when they are hanging over the field.

Hell ya!  More clouds the better.  "Tuesdays forecast for Aces High; partly cloudy with winds in the low teens".

Being mindful of the lower end systems, maybe there could at least be a HUGE (1/8th the size of the map) cloud formation that just circles the map.  That way, the low-enders can maybe get away from it if they need to.
