I've missed that above sea level thing. Its a contradiction in terms, and shows that the static weather system gives little to no freedom.

As long as you're MASKED by the cloud youre safe. Lol

Please don't go too fast for yourself, you'll crash and burn.

THEN it would make sense. So the cloudbase is 300m above sea level? Cloudbases are always based above ground level. So much for the so-called freedom for the static weather in the ME.... There isn't much...

Yeah... break hard so that you'll point your engines towards the threat....

What about that cloudbase and thickness? I already mentioned that, why are you repeating?

Ok, just for you, I'll quote the manual. HOLY SHIT. I was right, 300 meters is the lowest for the static weather. I am stupendous? lol, check the mirror dude! Seriously, come with some arguments instead of bullshit.

lol... Well, I'm revisiting right now. Just tried the ME. Lowest possible cloud base was 300m! Thickness 2000m. Now, unless there's a way to get that cloud base lower than 300m, you tell me where all that freedom is for static weather settings? A helicopter can EASILY fly VFR with a cloudbase around 300m. Now you could ofcourse bring the visibility back, but that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Below ground level? That doesn't make any sense. Is it possible to set the weather per airfield?????

Zooming up is just as simple as pulling the stick to convert airspeed into altitude.

By ZOOMING UP. If you're a couple hundred feet below or next to a cloud, you could use it for cover. I'm saying, it's an option worth considering. Terrain masking would always be better ofcourse.

Only once have I seen a low cloud deck. Can't remember how low it was. The mission editor doesn't allow a lot of freedom for static weather settings, maybe it's possible to use the dynamic weather to cook up some seriously poor weather. I've noticed many people online flying an ILS with the clouds at FL OMG and 100+ vis.

An IR missile can't track you through thick enough clouds. Moisture diffuses IR radiation.

Actually, both could. However, older systems are more likely to give up.

You could even do a throttle chop and zoom up. No requirement for max power/AB per se. Why is everyone suffering from tremendous tunnelvision on this forum?
