Raise the clouds! - Losing models

[Deffiant]

Ive downloaded a couple of models which are a number of planes in formation, namely the Red Arrows and the Thunderbirds.

They cant fly very high before they dissapear into the clouds, so could FMS include an option for setting the height of the cloud base, possibly even the density so you could set it at ground level as fog! (Is if its not already hard enough to tell which way a heli is when its far off)

As in the real world, the higher one goes, the less visible the model will become. There is nothing one can do about it, except to fly lower. Using the zoom options, you can get the view to be set at a comfortable view, and fly within these limits.

One needs to have the correct mindset when using (not playing) FMS. It is a tool to assist in R/C training, and needs to be done in conjunction with training at your local club with an actual model. Without the hands-on experience at a club, it is easy to ask for changes in the software to suit the pilot. However, when you are actually going for a real R/C flight, you will soon realise that the pilot actually has to addapt to a number of conditions during flights.

Learn correct, and fly correct...
