Realistic Clouds?

[Rattlehead]

They are there...but as far as I'm aware, they're a work in progress, confirmed by 1c. Some features like dynamic clouds, thunder and rain don't work yet.

Try the 'Phoney War' mission in this download, the FMB weather clouds are in this:

Hope we will get the same rain effect the ROF got

yeah that would be nice, i never understood why CoD has what looks like frost on the canopy when if anything when flying through a cloud you would get drops of water.

in a thread i started then closed by the moderater i suggested 1C allow real weather to be included as an add on its available from justflight and you simply log on to the metar station .The best clouds sets are from FS 2000 mainly.Most MSF simulators allow this software and its great.If you want to play historical then switch it off or back on again if by chance that days weather is similar if you insist,the weather each month of the year is usually similar to the year before so if you do play a historical mission that happened in september you stand a good chance of playing in conditions as they really were that month.This would save a lot of time for the 1C company dev team.

In RoF you get those on your goggles. Very nice effect. I also love the clouds, I wish we had something liek these in CloD:






However, I think it's too early to talk about it as clouds look too much like il2 clouds, so they're surely just placeholders.

Wow... lots of good info from non pilot I see.

But for your education, at you go up, the air temps go down, hence you get condensation and frost. Why do you think that you can ice up a plane flying at certain altitude even when conditions are relatively mild at ASL.

Here is a nice exemple of what a plane experiences... when super cold water its it...

I know that you have to be careful when transposing experiences, but based on riding motorcyles in the rain, although its a good looking effect, it doesn't look very realistic to me.

Next time I can get my motorcyle to start up during a shower of rain, I'll put on my flat repro aviation goggles and go for a ride to test it.

(I am a happy ROF owner and flyer by the way!)

Cheers!
