Gaad - that would be great. If we could get slope lift, rotors, ACSL clouds, mountain wave etc. etc. I live and fly (sim and real life) in the Yukon - mountains all around. Wind is a HUGE factor in any kind of flying, and so far in FS, it only affects your ground cruise speed :-(They have the mesh/terrain data. They have the new and improved looking weather model.Please oh please - put em together! ;-)

I think thats probably a bit of a reach for this version. It's difficult enough to get the weather to interract with the aircraft, let alone to interract with the aircraft and the ground.But I do think the new weather engine will give the aftermarket lots to chew on, so who knows?ChasW

wind and terrain modelling is for sure very nice but just have a look at the piper cub video at flight sim . com. it flies over mountains and it looks just great how the clouds accumulate in the valley!CheersPhilCome to DAD!http://www.dangerous-airports.com/images/dad_logo.jpg

The only sim that does this at the moment is the Flight Unlimited III sim. It simulates all those effects.>"I think thats probably a bit of a reach for this version.

FU3 could do all this back in 1999 so I don't see why FS wouldn't be able to do it.
