[Splash_One 0]

I just hope the weather patterns actually moves like in FU3, being in cloudy weather one minute while sitting on the tarmac and the suddenly you see the thunder clouds moving in and the sky gets dark and the rain starts coming than the thunder pounds and lightning flashes and and and.... :-bigangel

Hi, Only time will tell and if the "clouds rendering" system is like cfs3, they are not true volumetric clouds, but 3 or 4 clouds sprite at the same spot turning togheter, but better than fs2k2 and non paper thin problem. Don't be disapointed if this happend ;) In cfs3 preview and in the box they have said, they are 3d clouds which are not 3d clouds. Real 3d clouds should have many particle processing when you are in the clouds.ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs

While weather sometimes might indeed be fast mving (specially during the cold front) most often weather is relatively slow-changing phenomena.Michael J.

Yes, I hope it is not overdone either. Knowing MS it will probably be one or the other at first, then there will be 3rd party patch. Or maybe MS will be smart this time around :D :-kewl
