msteele999 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 OK, I am wondering if there is a way to view weather conditions on a planet or moon prior to sending a craft down into the atmosphere. I have searched the forums for weather and atmosphere. I have read the appendix and the manual. OPERATING SYSTEM: winXP OS ENVIRONMENT: 1400 x 1050 GAME ENVIRONMENT: 1024 x 768 Windowed, 32bit GAME VERSION: 1.00.02 RC7 GAME TYPE: roam - no npc's CAREER/RACE/CASTE: CMDR / TER / MIL ASSET/LAUNCH BASE: Battlecruiser MK3 QUAD: TERRAN SECTOR: Alpha Centuri / Sector C8 REGION: CENTRIS TARGETS: CENTRIS or MOON-01 or MOON-02 PROBLEM With a planet or moon targeted, I am unable to see the weather in the NID / NIR while in orbit. I have reviewed the manual on page 19: "This provides access to various modes, including navigation, weather display, probe launching, etc." I have reviewed the manual on page 23: "NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION RELAY (NIR) This mode displays your ship's regional location along with the current game date and time. If in a planet's atmosphere, it also displays your planetary coordinates. The local time indicated in the NID in a craft on a planet is consistent with its position on the planet and game time. The current weather condition is also displayed as well as a weather forecast mode that allows you to be aware of the next predictable weather condition." Two Questions based on this info: 1. does the weather and forecast ONLY display if you are in the atmosphere (i.e. after planetfall)? 2. is there any other way of discerning a planet or moons weather without entering it's atmosphere? Thank you. [ 05-01-2004, 04:28 PM: Message edited by: msteele999 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzle Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 TACOPS/ select planet / zoom to your chosen landing spot. You'll see exactly what's going on down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
