peridoot Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 well Kerbal Weather Project's weather model CAN do precipitation. the API is IN THE MOD. so the hard part is singular cells. the model KWP uses cant do that. so using KWP as a template and changing the model used could IN THEORY make storms possible. plus i think it would add a extra challenge (we could have a toggle in the diffuctly settings). fir example: delay launch cuz bad wetaher.

TheKSPBeginner Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Wind should be a toggleable difficulty setting. Personally, I’d love to launch during a thunderstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betaking Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 it would give a career mode mission for kerbin itself, photographing hurricanes and other things with various cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motokid600 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) It'd be cool if clouds could resemble cold front at least in some way, shape or form. Like with just a healthy mix of all the cloud types. Nothing mechanical. Just visual. The clouds they previewed for KSP2 so far look really good. Although I must say Astronomer's Visual Pack has lightning ( no bolts ) and its amazing. So ill take that in KSP2 too.

PlutoISaPlanet Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I feel liek rain would be a nice thing to look at, along with lighting. Should they have physical effects... In my opinion, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdwlrd Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 In KSP... I want to fly into a thunderstorm. In RL... there's no way I'm flying into a thunderstorm by choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
