Weather conditions in SH4 (?)

canimodo · 03-14-07, 04:31 PM

Will Weather COnditions in SH4 be the same as in SH3 ??

Or we´ll see different (heavier) storms ? What about lightniings ??

what is dynamic fog ???

Blood_splat · 03-14-07, 04:45 PM

Fog that is dynamic.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well, I guess that solves the weather problem for this sim....

THE_MASK · 03-14-07, 04:53 PM

You stole my reply.

Fog that develops slowly, and has heavier and lighter patches. They also said dynamic clouds, meaning they will change as we watch, just like real life.

And the clouds will cast shadows . WoW

There will be cloud shadows that correspond to the clouds overhead and change with them--very cool. I do not know, but I expect that we may well encounter typhoons! I think we are going to see a much more real weather model. The emphasis and work on SH4 seems to have been to enhance the exterior world first and the sub's interior world second. Remember, the goal of the developers is to attract the casual gamer, who is probably not a simulation fan.

They will also change color due to the time of day.

Better weather was my #1 for improvement in the game. Always felt a bit irritated that such an important evironmental factor was rather limp in Sh3.

Dynamic fog.......oh yes, I like the sound of that.

Yea, storms that don't last for weeks on end will be nice.

I hope we will be able to get weather reports from HQ and other ships. If they don't have it then maybe someone could add it as a mod?

What does it mean when the DEV says Quote" if this would be a calmer mission and i could surface ". Didnt they give a hint of crew getting washed off in heavy seas or something like that .

The Sub was in the middle of heavy action so not a good idea to surface.
