Title: Map UI request: Clouds and wind direction
Post by: Van-Tuz on December 18, 2013, 09:27:57 am
Make clouds and storms visible on the map. Also some arrow representing a wind direction would be nice. It would help pilots to better utilise or avoid them.

Wind direction can be figured by the movement of clouds.

As for clouds on the map, I can't really say it would do much. Looking around does the job just as well. Less distractions on my map, the better.

At the very least, it would be nice to be able to see where the dust clouds are. A couple of times during CP, I've spawned inside it so by the time I got out of it, all my weapons were down.

EDIT: I mean, while selecting a spawn point.

As the weather only affects clouds and not the movement of your ship its not too important to know any wind direction.  Mostly it just seems gusty to me as any true wind direction.

that's not technically true Ram.... many times I've been slammed up against the ribs on duel b/c of wind.... I'd never be drinking that Moonshine I swear! :)) ... in all seriousness, wind does affect ship movement to a small degree for certain maps (not all)

Don't the flags on your ship indicate the wind direction? Or am I just too hopeful?

Only ship momentum unfortunately. Moving clouds follow wind direction though.
