Hola All,

I don't recall ever encountering foul-weather in any of my CloD flights.
Turbulences, yes.
Rain ? I don't think so.

Just me, or simply not simulated in ? And if so, why would that be ? Engine limitations ?

Cheers,
Slug

Real time weather was supposed to be a feature of the original release. I don't know if we'll ever see it, though I think it has been on TFS's long list of eventual projects.

Engine limitation.

Although possible set more detailed clouds in FMB using the object Weather, this clouds is only visible in a buble around the player (like grass), in background the sky is always CAVU.

You can fly though clouds in the whole Channel, but will see the France or English coast behind this "local weather" that move with you. It's CloD!" smile

So CloD never will have a weather like now is possible in Bo'X, although CLoD clouds looks more "pretty".

Bokin topic in ACG explain what is possible do:

Since until now TF focus was in MP and MP players hate clouds, this remain as released.

"Distant clouds", is now an option in the game's video section. Never say never. Neither you nor I has an inside track on what TFS may be planning for the future. Weather was meant to be a feature of the original game, so I would guess that is built into the original code somewhere but not yet implemented.
Don't make assumptions.
