Weather - Temperature will have an effect on the

performance of the plane as well as add to the

possibility of weather effects. F-22 Lightning 3 uses a

roving weather pattern overlay that allows for various

pockets of weather during the game. In pockets that

get below 25 degree Fahrenheit, it will begin to snow.

From 25 to 33 degrees, the F-22 will encounter hail. It

will rain everywhere else. Note you must set the Time of

Day in the Edit Mission screen to Storm if you want any

weather conditions to appear in your mission.

Minimum Temperature - This is the lowest temperature

that can be reached in the mission.

Temperature - This is the starting temperature for the

map (specific to each time of day).

Maximum Temperature - This is the highest temperature

that can be reached in the mission.

Temperature Variance - The temperature will drop this

amount in the worst weather conditions on the map.The

greater the temperature variance, the more severe

weather changes your mission will have.

Maximum Wind Velocity - This number determines the

maximum speed the wind can get to during a mission. Do

not set this value too high, aircraft does not handle well in

wind speeds that approach hurricane level (64 knots).

Direction - This value sets the direction the wind is

blowing to. Setting it at 180 will mean the wind is

blowing from North to South.

Wind change time - The computer will randomly vary the wind up to 50% of its current rate every time

this number of milliseconds pass. It is recommended that you set this number high, such as 30000

(every 30 seconds the wind speed will change).
