DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE

Cloud Development FAQ

Clouds are in the works for Infinite Flight and are undergoing internal testing. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions:

Q: What Kind of clouds will be released?

A: Our first iteration is a cirrus cloud layer. Cloud cover, thickness, and altitude will vary based on conditions.

Q: Will other types of clouds come later?

A: Yes, that’s the plan. We don’t have a timeframe to share for this yet.

Q: Will my device be able to handle it?

A: If your device can handle Infinite Flight in its current state, it should handle clouds as well. We’re working hard to make sure clouds render in a way that has the least impact on processing as possible.

Q: Will the clouds be based on real weather data like METAR/TAF?

A: Yes. As noted above, cloud cover, density, and altitude will be as accurate as the data we receive from the weather service database. Since V1 will be a cirrus layer only, we will interpret data in a way that gives the closest possible representation using this type of cloud cover.

Q: Will precipitation be included?

A: No, but we would love to add it in the future.

Q: Are clouds available for non-pro users?

A: Yes, clouds will be available to all of our users, whether they have a Pro subscription or not.

Q: When will this update come?

A: As always, we don’t set release dates. This has been a complicated addition since we want to ship realistic clouds to you. That being the case, we don’t have a projected release for this feature. We will keep you updated along the way!
