Pooter03 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'm in mission 2, and they recommend attacking the SAM at high altitude (angles 25 or greater.) However, there is about 75% cloud cover and despite some holes in the clouds, I have trouble getting into a good position to attack it with an LGB or Mavs. Once we hit WP 7 or so, do we have time to loiter until we can find a good place to attack or is there a time limit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the purchase! No, missions were created with old clouds and what you see currently is the automated preset that has ported across with 2.7. All missions have been updated following 2.7 just waiting on ED to push the update out. Generally won't cause too many problems while you're waiting but occasionally visibility isn't as originally intended. For mission 2 there's no time limit to complete so you can pick your spot to attack. The clouds add a nice dynamic in this way, but some missions it complicates things more than intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving it so far. You also forced me to finally learn how to input and update waypoints, so that's a plus. Do you think I should wait until the update comes out to experience it like you intended?

I think most missions should be ok for now, there's a couple of moments where if you're high up you might not see the thing being pointed out but generally these are v short, fleeting moments - slightly frustrating but won't really detract from the overall mission. Mission 14 is the only mission that is miles away from where it should be but hopefully the update will hit before you get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylw314 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I should point out that for me in mission 3, the cloud cover is a low overcast, so it's a little incongruous when Davy and Mono start calling out explosions on the ground when it's a solid layer under us! I fly in VR, not sure if that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fly in VR, not sure if that matters No VR makes no difference, this one's not supposed to be solid overcast, originally there were just a few balls of fluff here and there. Agree it's a bit jarring that Davy and Mono can see things you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChillNG Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Clouds now updated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLUTIUS MAXIMUS Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Yeah I noticed this is one thing throughout the campaign where I thought I was supposed to stay high and I obviously had to dive below the the cloud cover to even get an eye on the target.

ChillNG Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 The moving clouds that are incoming should hopefully change this up a little, hopefully for the better but we'll have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
