To me the answer is simple. Weather. if they are going to spend time on one, IMHO, weather is more important.

I don't understand the hoopla about not having a dynamic campaign. The best missions or campaigns I've ever flown were all user made. I see no issue there.

Well since I am almost a 100% onliner I guess the answer is easy.

My vote goes for weather as well Slingn...I wonder if Oleg has modeled thermals/slope/wave lift etc...It would be wonderful to go gliding...:)

Weather for me too, missions and campaigns can be scripted, weather can't be... now there's an idea! Scripted weather lol

I'd imagine weather is mainly about processing power and implementation, both of which may come with time and further resources...especially if the code-base is already there, at least in part.

A truly dynamic campaign strikes me as a very difficult thing to do, especially to do it well, and I'd imagine (no experience of this) that it would need a high level of integration from the beginning. I could be wrong, but I'd suspect it would be very difficult to do later on, or to complete and also integrate later on.

To me it's a major, major feature (as it is to some others). While I'm at it, people telling me scripted missions are better, or can be better, or will be better, or were better in past instances, is not the same thing. After a while it is just tiresome.

I'd imagine dynamic weather is also difficult to do well, and would have all sorts of implications for the rest of the game engine.

In this case it's lose/lose. How people can put a happy spin or gloss on it, god only knows.

Weather for me too.

weather

weather is real nice but it's a major frame killer. You see any mention of flak bursts? That's another frame killer if they are realistic

Campaign.

Weather may not realistically change in a mission that takes an hour or two. But no DC simple means very limited appeal /replayability to offline players. I don't want to refly the same mission three times before "completing the objective" and each time, on waypoint 3 there will be enemy bombers waiting to be intercepted.

DX11, they will have to fix this first if they are going to resolve the poor FPS they get when they apply the weather.

Weather! Dynamic campaign is pretty uninteresting for me I´ve got multiplayer.

The game is still going to have 128 players, right?

Couldn't have said it better. +1.

Weather.

Unconfirmed but possible, might be dialed back a bit if it kills performance I guess, i.e.

Oh, and as for the topic- Weather, I plan to use SP to get better at MP, rather than expect it to be something I buy the sim for.

Dynamic weather. Remember that water=3 was worth the wait when the hardware caught up!

The weather, I really hope they optimize what they already have now, and can give it to us soon hopefully.

The weather.

After I played BoB2, I could never really enjoy a BoB themed campaign in Il-2 anymore, even Compans' (for me) just weren't the same. Don't get me wrong, I can play a campaign in il-2 once and love it to pieces, but after that it just gets (don't kill me for saying this) gamey: 'let's see what happens if I play as red-1 and climb to a higher ceiling, then I can bounce the bombers I know are coming'.
Whereas in a DC I am always on the edge of my seat, never really knowing what to expect.

Weather is a really important aspect for me as well, but as an offliner, if the stock campaign falls short, I may as well go back to BoB2 for the (mission) experience alone.
Conversely, I'm sure SoW will have enough new features to keep me entertained until a DC is released.
I'd be happy with either TBH.
