Glide Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 I am wondering what folks like to see for weather in missions. There is quite a variety, so what are some favorites and peeves? High clouds? Fog? What seems the most realistic at different times of the day? I have been keeping my missions clear so far (cuz they look so sexy!), but I am wondering what's the next level.
Paganus Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 In SP using dynamic is cool. It's a pain to setup though. There are a couple of guides floating around if you're interested. 23 turbulence will give a few nice bumps to landing aircraft. In MP I only use the extremes. Either all clear or full overcast since weather isn't totally in sync for MP. Fog is always good when it fits the situation.
Glide Posted October 9, 2020 Author Posted October 9, 2020 Thanks, Paganus! I am a little hesitant to go full dynamic while the NWS issues linger for the F-16 because crosswinds are nasty. :) I am going to play with overcast and fog a bit. Cheers!

sirrah Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Either clear sky or overcast.

Glide Posted October 12, 2020 Author Posted October 12, 2020 Sirrah, almost! :) Fog can be useful to create that misty morning affect. After a few days of playing, a little fog, a few mountains peeking thru the clouds, the odd torrential rain, and some really nice snow storms are the highlights. A lot can be achieved adding sunrises, sunsets, and the moon into the picture.
sirrah Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 True. I forgot to mention the fog effect (which is ok I guess) and lighting/time of day (which can be very nice indeed) But as far as clouds concern, it's just two flavors atm: overcast & clear System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM - Realsimulator FSSB-R3 ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH
Glide Posted October 12, 2020 Author Posted October 12, 2020 Fog is a little tricky to get right. A thin fog with maximum visibility can give Persian Gulf a nice misty affect, but it darkens the water a bit much. On Caucasus the fog looks a bit too white. At night, fog can come out too green on the Syria map. Torrential rain with fog and minimums set to 3000 makes for a nice soup to climb in and out of.
