Cloud Streets...

[Pringliano]

Under some circumstances, particularly with the type of weather the SYN server was set to during this weekend, we can experience in il-2 BoS the most AMAZING cloud formations I have seen represented in any of the flight simulators I ever used, reminding me about the same situations when found flying gliders IRL... Cloud Streets, where cumulus clouds merge together along huge distances, forming a sort of streets of cumulus in the sky, with the patterns repeating side by side.

 

The only aspect not agreeing with the meteo effect behind it is the wind I found under such situations, but no big deal...

 

Speaking of wind, again, I really like the way BoS models it's variability and the turbulence, even having just sparse control over these factors when we create a Mission.

You mean the way cumulus aligns itself in quite evenly spaced rows?

I have to agree that the weather effects can be some of the most immersive I have ever seen/experienced in a combat/flight sim and remind me frequently of R/L memories, moving clouds, with 'sunbursts' though to the ground and so many other great effects with little harm to game performance, these achievements along with the ability to have tens of thousands of collidable  trees on the map, a 'holy grail' of flight sims for many years seem to be lost amongst the more vocal complaints about 'gameplay choices  '

I agree, Syn was looking pretty cool in the clouds last night.
