Use Dynamic weather at own risk in IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover

**hostess** · 03-04-2011

Well I have installed IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover on the computer of mine. I have noticed that the this particular game has included Dynamic Weather in to the full mission builder. Still I have not tried the thing? Well I want to know any gamer have tried with this entire thing or not. Let me know what do you mean by the dynamic weather and also how to use the same. let me know complete details regarding this particular thing.

I have looked on the one of the forum. Well I have found that the dynamic weather is quite complex thing I have ever seen. I have noticed that it is running quite slow. You will not be able to fly over the large map. Complex Weather will kill the CPU as well as Video card. It would be accessible by the player using the FMB. I let you know you are going to play with the Dynamic Weather then you need to play the game at own risk. It will not work until and unless frame rate is not high in the game.

Well I have tried to create some weather on the FMB. I have got little bit success while doing this particular thing in the game. However I have broken the Object Viewer when I have simply clicked on the Dynamic Checkbox which is given in the game. Well I have found that viewer has stopped responding at all. I tried with the restarting the game on the computer but it did not help me at all the game. The game is seems to freeze after doing all this thing.

I am hoping that this particular mission file would be useful to you.

I am little bit amazed for the thing why there is the nothing like dynamic campaign in the game. It Is not difficult to have random parameters in the game. There should be parameters like aircraft type, plane availability, flight size, ground target/convoy composition in the game. I really hated the CFS 1 and CFS 2 because it was having scripted missions in the game. I am thinking that it would be not a big issue for the modern developers.
