Lau Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Dynamic weather, wind not shifting direction and speed with altitude (coriolis + gradient pressure effect) No customer support or modules in an abandoned state can only mean no further investments from ED’s customers. ED and third party developers are solely responsible for the level of features completeness at which they decide to release their modules. Taking in to account customers feedback as well as finishing the products is paramount. After release, modules should be playable with important essential features completed at very early stages after the release, including bug fixes. ED & partners staffs should grow with the addition of newer modules in order to not diminish the level of customer support or further delay delivery as per the initial sales agreement. The virtual world we fly with our modules is equally important; there is no way around AI, real weather and the earth map. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lau Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Hi @draconus, I could not agree more with you, hence the OP. That being said it does work a little by providing circular winds that vary in strength and direction over large areas among a bunch of other options that the users can fiddle with to try and improve the experience when it comes to simulating weather in DCS. Now I am sure you will agree that the real question is why ED is head on only developing new unfinished airframes and not continuing to improve the environment where we can use our detailed core mods, here I think of live real and historical weather including sea state for pitching deck carrier operations to stick to the environment part of the sim. Now to be fair carrier operations and all of this is fairly new but, I currently do not see the will to do a little work on the aforementioned core features of any flying simulator. If the airframes we fly in are so realistic, then they certainly need the environment that goes with it, otherwise DCS is only a display room for watching the addons we purchased, sort of a 3D model viewer.

I don't agree because they do improve the core and add maps at the same time. Quote Weather. The weather focus for 2024 will be on a new fog system and towering clouds with appropriate line-of-sight blocking.

Lau Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Of course I did read all the above and I was astonished by how little the dcs weather sim is getting in 2024, that being said it is nice to put a cube in the air to block the AI view, specially for WW2 scenarios. Anyways, thanks for sharing your thoughts with me, always a pleasure to exchange around our favorite sim and let’s hope for good surprises in 2024.
