313stim Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Hi dear developers, take this idea as suggestion to further improve yours-ours sim. I found that weather in the game is simplified. I mean simulation of meteorological effects should be improved to some deeper level as it is implemented now. It can be focused on a front (warm and cold) simulation and its related effects. It is obvious that weather plays strategic aspect on a battlefield. Especially for the air force. Consider change of weather condition during mission (e.g. cold front passing) - if target area is covered by low clouds with local snowing or showers. If mother airfield is covered by heavy snow or rain and it is need to land on backup airfield etc. Passing front is represented by specific types of clouds and its heights. Low clouds - Stratus, Startocumulus, Nimbostratus (Heights surface to 6500’) Medium Clouds - Altocumulus, Altocumulus Castellanus, Altostratus (heights: 6500’ to 23000’). Also change of atmospheric pressure could be simulate to some level. It could be implemented ln the campaigns, single missions, online etc.. Weather settings could be improved to set custom heights/types of clouds and covereage in 0/8 (clear)- 8/8 (cloudy) at least. Other flight sims provide simulated weather with less or more success. I know that it is not easy task.but will bring new level of advanced atmosphere and great experience. See you on the sky. stim .
6./ZG26_Emil Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 The weather in BOS is more than good enough. Maybe an option for settting the altitude of different cloud layers would be good but I fail to see the point of turning this in to a meteorological study sim.
6./ZG26_Custard Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I like the weather just fine atm , hey its winter but I wonder if the Dev's are going to model summer storms, thunder/lighting or heavy rain etc, in the summer/autumn maps?
Bussard_x Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 The weather is excellent as it is now, you should know what all the options are in the sim.

Would single engined fighters be flying in such extreme weather though?...I doubt it. Edited March 22, 2015 by 6./JG5_Emil
6./ZG26_Custard Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Would single engined fighters be flying in such extreme weather though?...I doubt it. They did, but it was of course preferable to avoid: The 312th BG flew the A-35s until they received the A-36 Apache dive-bomber in late November. This plane was a version of the P-51 Mustang with lattice-type dive brakes in the wings and would not exceed 300mph with the dive brakes extended in a vertical dive. Unlike the A-35, pilots actually enjoyed flying this aircraft. Not long after they started training on these planes, the 311th Bomb Group took them to India. The 312th then flew the Douglas A-24 Dauntless dive-bomber, this slower plane that allowed the crews to train for providing closer support to Army ground forces. November 23, 1943 was a tragic day for the Group. While returning to Hunter Field from Little Rock, Arkansas, two members of the 388th Squadron, 1/Lt. Reynolds H. Middleton and M/Sgt. David L. Dean, crashed near Macon, Georgia when they flew into a severe thunderstorm. They were the Group’s first fatalities.
6./ZG26_Emil Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Yes it happens by accident. I'm just not sure if it's worth all that effort to simulate something that is virtually unflyable. Having said that ROF has pretty extreme weather from what I remember but I'm not sure if there is thunderstorms.
avlSteve Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't mind an occasional higher ceiling. Edited March 22, 2015 by avlSteve
6./ZG26_Emil Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I wouldn't mind an occasional higher ceiling. Yeh I'd like to be able to change that as well

Sokol1 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) What I want see real nights in BoS, the actual with the "super moon" dont make sense. Is easy fly "IFRR" in then. Edited March 23, 2015 by Sokol1
Quax Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Stukas did make ferry flights at a ceiling of 50 meters (Rudels biography). Not all survived, although there was no enemy in the air. I like the more variable weather of RoF. And I would appreciate real nights as well.
