What you just described, is it something you actually experienced before, whether in DCS or another simulation, or is it rhetorical conjecture, i.e. it didn't happen before but you can imagine the upcoming changes producing this result? Not to speak for Lex, but from my own experience, clouds in DCS are not synced between players. What one person sees is not the same as the other. Trying to use the clouds in DCS to gain or take away an advantage is pointless, as you're opponent may not even see clouds at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that DCS is working on this at the present time. I can't imagine them developing a new weather system based on the present one, as the present one is very limited, to put it mildly. DCS has an extraordinary level of fidelity and detail in flight dynamics and aircraft and weapons systems. Weather is always a major factor in operations (away from Nevada), but is lacking in this to make it a true operational simulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but I think she was referring specifically to the dynamic weather system which makes it even more interesting. Banned by cunts.

None of it tells us when clouds might be ready - might be next month, might be next year. All we now know is that once clouds are released, we know the new weather system will come some time after. That could be a short or long delay in itself, on top of the time to get clouds released. PC specs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Romeo Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Seems like we will get a new weathersystem right after the new clouds. The new sytem is ready and just waits for the new clouds. 24:01 My skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds awesome. Does this include IR missiles and EO systems of AI aircraft and AA units too, i.e. will we be able to use clouds tactically against AI?

I'm pretty sure that is also part of the goal they want to achieve.

KillEmAll88 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Has any one seen the terrible movie Vivarium on movie streaming networks ?. They end up imprisoned in a virtual fake world and all the clouds in the movie are little puffy blotches identical to DCS cloud system. At one point the female is looking at them depressed mentioning in the real world they came in all shapes and sizes but these are all the same. I wanted to make a meme of it Love DCS still as is.

sirrah Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Nineline, I know you get a lot of questions and you're not able to expand much on the new weather system as you guys are clearly still working very hard on it, but is it possible yet to say something about these two matters: Will the new clouds no longer rotate if you look at them in VR/TrackIR and tilt your head? Will the problem of disappearing/appearing distant clouds in VR be solved? (I know there's much much more to the weather system, but these are my main concerns and pretty much the main reason why currently I only fly in clear skies) System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 People seem to be overly preoccupied with puffy clouds (cumulus). Clouds are most often stratocumulus, or rather flattish clouds. They have a base, tops, and go from scattered to completely overcast. Flying inside clouds should be good for the frame rate, as rendering of external objects would be inhibited as generally, visibility inside cloud is very low. So low that the wingman may have to stay very close to the lead in a formation. I wonder if they'll add turbulence while flying inside those puffy clouds.

It's pretty hard to imagine that they'd go to the effort of building a brand new weather system with brand new cloud visuals and not address such obvious issues, no? i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's so obvious, which I do agree with you, it wouldn't be a problem for NL or BN to confirm this. At this moment I'm not sure if ED even confirmed the issue with the dis-/appearing distant clouds in VR. Let alone if this is solved with the new and improved clouds. I know, chances are slim that either NL or BN read my questions, but I have to try :) System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
