How many really like the clouds?
« on: March 24, 2008, 12:53:39 PM »
I didn't think at first i'd really like the thick clouds in this and was pretty much prepared to be disappointed in this FSO. What a shock to realize i actually enjoyed the challenge of trying to keep the enemy or my flight in sight! It sure makes you pay attention to your gages as this last sortie i found myself disoriented during a turn, upon looking at my gages i saw to my horror i was in a flat spin. :O Useing my gages i managed to get out of the spin and pulled out of the resulting dive at about 2k. :eek: Makes me wish they had this more often in the MA.

Honestly, I think the weather in this frame was BETTER than North Sea. The overcast is thicker and it's been darker out, but the higher cloud cover offered significantly better visibility than the lower clouds/fog bank in North Sea.

I like the Fog and Clouds.  They enhance the realism. :D

I like the thick clouds just fine. I like em more than a random cloud layer. I think I'd really like some puffy cumlus clouds of random sizes and alts to play hide and seek in.

Thumbs up on clouds.

The clouds and weather are awesome!

Actually having enough cloud to experience vertigo in AH is great.  Actually get some use out of that horizon indicator now.

I'm really enjoying the weather... I've felt for a long time they needed to start using it (even to a lesser degree it should be in the MA).

Anyhow, I hope that the CM's will remember that some fights really did happen in good weather too :D  Lets not OVER do the clouds and make them feel like a burdon...  They are like cayenne pepper... A little really makes it good, but if you over do it, no one will eat at your house again.
