I have to thank ED for the clouds in the recent updates

[hannibal]

thank you ED for striving to make the best combat flight sim possible for users who do not have access to suck info and data.

 

recently been seeing videos of DCS 2.2

i am amazed by the clouds.

i hope that future updates continue to turns towards realism, particularly the environment.

deferred shading was a game changer, now the clouds.

 

i always found past videos a lil fake when every DCS user videos had clear skies.

when i see movies like les chevaliers du ciel or even the FSX REX mods, i am blown away by them, where i always hoped DCS would focus on clouds and effects, so that no matter what plane, there is sheer joy to fly, even if its the TF-51 or Su25

 

KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

 

side note (I hope Belsimtek adds multi-seat to huey & Mi8 doorgunners with x-axis and y-axis controls)

Out of curiosity, has anyone confirmed they're multiplayer synced?

[Esac_mirmidon]

They are desync. As always been

[=Pedro=]

These clouds are just temporary. The new technology of clouds is coming to DCS after 2.5 :)

[Valinor]

They look lovely indeed.

 

[razo+r]

They still rotate though

What does it mean they are desync in MP?

[Mars Exulte]

It means just because you see a cloud in a certain place, does not mean anybody else does. It means exactly what it sounds like : They are not synchronised between clients.

Wow, that is so dissapointing.

That's what happens when you have a game engine that's this old. One of many examples of why they are in the process of a complete overhaul.

I have also noticed that the clouds disappear when the camera moves to different parts of the map just like 1.5.x does, only way to sync or keep clouds is to use Dynamic Weather.

 

Even so, the new clouds are still 10x better looking than the older ones :)

No doubt !

I dont think any of the upcoming changes (2.5) are close to an overhaul. The foundations (code) are broken and it will remain that way for a long time. They are just working on graphics, meshes and stuff. All the inherent problems in the simulation are from another aspect.

 

Maybe Im wrong :book:

Yeah, noticed the same...also for the clouds shadows, they flicker and appear/disappear as clouds do the same. Sometimes clouds shadows are projected upwards which is another bug I already posted long ago.

 

But they are miles away of the older ones, thats for sure!!...can't wait to see the real "NEW" ones :thumbup:

[Phantom453]

They still rotate though

 

Strange!! I'm not getting this any more. Thought it was something that had been fixed? :noexpression:

mines also rotate...

Clouds sometimes rotate in real life though :D

[BIGNEWY]

As far as I am aware clouds are still W.I.P and we should see more work done on them with 2.5

That's what I've said few post earlier:

[AV_Partizan]

any chance to have them synced during mp sessions in 2.5?

Use dynamic weather and you can sync them now.

[Ala12Rv-watermanpc]

Use dynamic weather and you can sync them now.

 

Could you give us some info on how to use the dynamic weather to have an area filled with clouds while at the same time other without any cloud please?, I have seen this in some videos but have no idea how to achieve that...

 

thanks!!
