See Yo-Yo's post below.

 

I must prevent you, guys, from overestimating the feature you can use in Beta 3.

The new features is only a few discreet steps forward.

 

Dynamic weather in its first step will allow to have several baric systems (cyclones and anticyclones) placed in random but statistically based places. This instantly gives true wind and pressure distribution including altitude and near-ground wind directions. Clouds density will vary regarding real meteorological laws (in general of course.) Unfortunately, we can not graphically represent the areas of overcast, so you can only see different density of common type 1 clouds :).

 

Later we plan to create front line (lines) in correspondence with the pressure distribution and decorate it with becoming clouds and airflows like squall (do not ask for tornado please - we could but what will you do with it?)

 

The unhoped-for feature is that this new feature is very processor friendly so I think nobody will notice the difference in fps :)

 

 

P.S. Baric systems will move as they must move but it has sence only during long missions.

Tornado would be nice I think, weapon which you can't stop.

Nothing a nuke couldn't solve :smartass:

Hmm, I'm not convinced that nuking a tornado would be a particularly useful thing to do. You'd only make it angry.

Yes, agreed,,,,, and what if they decided to team up...... quite a battle for a Hog to confront!

I've heard that only Nuke can stop huge tornado. Don't know it is true now.

 

Anyway tornado would be nice in LO as it is in real life too, especially in the US.

Can someone tell me where to find the change log? Thanks.

there is only 1 thing that can stop a tornado. Unfortunatly it was destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom a long time ago.

And there is only one thing worse than a tornado. but we dont have to go there.
