During Frame 2, some in my squad commented that if they look away from the clouds, their frame rates were normal (50-60), but when they turn their head towards the clouds, their frame rate dropped to 15-20.

As has been said earlier, the clouds were not supposed to be there and they will not be used anymore until things get better.

I really don't think it was the clouds, I think it was the game in general.....
being in the large group of Ju88s it didn't matter if I was looking at clouds or not. 21fps on take off, the most it got to all frame was 38 while I was in the bombsite. I don't think looking at the clouds is the major problem.

I brought a couple schwarmen of F-8's through the big bank over 113.  About a dozen Spits passed right next to us in the clouds...going the other way...

...it was a like an 80's club...all dry ice and red strobes...

...it scattered our flight with freeze ups, a disco...and severe FR hits.


too bad...because the clouds are awesome.  Just not working for everyone right now.

The clouds are ridiculously cool, but if 1 person can't play because of them then I am against them.

I've got a bit more to add to this.  It wasn't the clouds!  It was Ju88s. For us (multiple confirmations) there was no frame drop at all from the clouds.  One glance at a Ju88 and the frame rate dropped to half.  CM test time!

BTW I have a suggestion:  Substitute B29s for Ju88s for the last frame.  :lol

I agree the clouds look great but as one of the players who not handle them I say they need to go for now until something can fix it for all

 Its a compound issue, Formations + Clouds leave most to drastic drops in frame rates. Same goes for Large numbers of planes plus clouds.

I had no frame rate drop at all in the first week. Zilch.  I flew in areas with large numbers of planes and clouds.  This week I had huge problems, but the only apparent difference was that I was in amongst a bunch of Ju88s.
