I wish for new clouds
« on: April 09, 2012, 06:34:31 AM »
2d clouds are a bit dated they could use an upgrade.

with some turbulence when you go into them would be a plus.

Turbulance isn't associated with all clouds, but I agree. Some nice cumulus clouds with a bit of vertical development would be cool. Winds alot would also be nice, although I know it'll never happen in the MA*.

A bit off topic: I remember flying in the AvA when wind was set at different altitudes. It was a blast, and definitely made the game more immersive.

Its not only for the turbulence –which is great – its about somewhere you can hide when you are outnumbered or –why not- losing a dogfight. In 2D AH clouds there is no way you can hide

Read any fighter jock accounts from WW2 and you will see clouds taking a leading role in almost every single case.

The easiest, quickest (OH LISTEN TO THE AH CODE EXPERT HERE!!), and lowest graphical impact (<-- this is probably true at least) would be to have clouds/cloud layers act as a shield by hiding or at least partially obscuring "dots" and completely negating icon/model/range indicators.

Meaning, at the very least a plane above the cloud layer would not see an icon for a plane below the cloud layer and vice versa.

Yes please.  Everything about the eye candy is good enough to be functional IMO, but the clouds could really stand a facelift.

I think the clouds in AH1 actually looked better.  Just my opinion.

+1.

And Contrail/Vapor trail for eye candies.
It should be selected-able in graphics option.
