Hornetjock Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 I have watched many of the YT vids out there from fellow simulator pilots on the DCS 2.7 update. Everyone is super hyped about the clouds adding to the immersion. Rightfully so – it is a “game-changer” as they say. I watched Philstyle and copped his tip on Warbird ascent into IFR through cloud. Get stabilised in the clear with the horizon under the clouds and go up, never taking your eyes off the VSI and AH. I broke out at 12,000 feet, above two layers of dense, fluffy cloud and cruised in my Spitfire. Then I saw a large hole with the gloriously sunlit fields of England below. I rolled her over, reduced the power and down we went, the walls of cloud ripping by close about us. I gently eased her out doing over 400 mph at around 2,000 feet. This is something I read that the greats such as Roland Beamont and Alex Henshaw had done in the day. I am so happy that I got the chance to do it at seventy years young in a simulator. Not much good at dogfighting, but I landed her in a three-pointer at Hawkinge and parked among the other Spits I had placed there, grinning like an idiot. Thanks to ED, Phil, CAP, Reflected, Growling Sidewinder, Skouras, Spudknocker and all the rest for your cinematics and tips. It's a great community – only getting stronger. If you made one – I have probably watched it! 8

fagulha Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 This update was a game changer. I fly only in VR and although it need urgent fix i can see already that will be awesome when ED fix the cloud jumping, then i will fully enjoy the experience. So many thanks for ED and all team for pulling this. My dreams come true. Hornet, Supercarrier, and clouds. I´m happy. Hope you all enjoy it too. Best regards, be safe. F.

Open a mission in Mission Editor, go to weather and change the presets available (with 2 layers, 3 layes, 1 layer, Broken, Overcast, etc).
