This change is so damn necessary, I need it.

We needed it years ago
Yeah because clearly there isn’t an issue when ENTIRE BR BRACKETS can have 0 games being played at any given time of day, and even popular brackets only have 2-5 lobbies max with the lobbies themselves only having enough players to form 2 full lobbies if you added up all of the players from those 5 smaller games…

lets not forget completly unbalanced teams
best seen when 12.7 is the top br
2 or 3 Mig-29s against a horde of F-14’s
that sounds like fun

Gaijin just needs to update the objectives around 10.0 - 11.0 and above. We got more modern aircraft now, modernize the objectives, fix AI behavior. Like the carriers, ground targets stuck inside the ground and AI crashing all the time.
And add more sim EC maps. Like Pyrenees and Kamchatka or something. More map variety
Once Gaijin does these two things it would make sim EC more enjoyable again. It’s so boring all people want to do is fly low and straight on flat maps and complain.
Maybe get rid of the ability to start matches with flat maps above 12.3 or something. Or reduce multi-pathing again to like 30m or 40m. Make people learn the notch

why not on all gamemode?
Air sim is joined through a lobby browser, not random matchmaker.
Presently you can see:
Players on both sides (usually not accurate)
BR bracket (altho it’s static and rotates every 2 days so not a big surprise)
Map
What countries fly for which side (Is USSR allies or axis and so on).
How much time has elapsed since the lobby started.
Adding:
“Current weather”
and
“Current time of day”
wouldn’t be a stretch and while creating a lobby you can also set the above information (except players obviously) so it makes natural sense to also add “current weather/time of day.” Especially as it’s TECHNICALLY already possible to set those through opening lobbies and reopening them repeatedly .

Exactly so why not just make it so we can change weather and time of day in the first place

While yes ^this would be nice this current thread might still be a stretch getting gaijin to listen, and implementing it might take a minute

yeah it’ll be a stretch only 50 or so votes I need a minimum of 100
A long time ago, it was possible to customize each option, but it was abused, resulting in many Chinese people using it to gain more benefits, leading to a large number of abandoned rooms. In fact, the Asian server has not changed at all. Although I am Chinese, I hate their practices!!!

This is just going to lead to all sim matches being extremely cookie cutter and repetitive at all times, as players will make and migrate only to matches with optimal lighting and conditions. We already have to few maps, with only a fraction of this small pool being used by most players.
Taking away the last shred of variance sim has is a horrible idea.
flying in thunder clouds that are at 100m and makes pvp impossible imo is not good for the game and is not fun. All it does is encourage pve

This is exactly what will happen. All matches will be Clear+Day, because because people want to have the best shot with the best plane and are minmaxing to either unlock the next plane, or show off the scoreboard as if it will attract members of the opposite gender.
Although since clouds do exist, there needs to be a failsafe and have them server-side so everyone has at least approximately the same locations at all times, and starting a match with 1 player + 3 bots on each side (that get replaced by players down the line) would be vary welcome.

Hmmm, not sure about that.
I for one would really welcome the possibility to configure weather and daytime, and would actually also use this option to play e.g. at night - and I’m quite confident I’m not alone.
This is also an issue in e.g. FS2024, where in multiplayer games the weather is not synched between players, which is very problematic for e.g. competitive glider competitions, which rely on weather a lot. But for a multiplayer game, equal conditions for everybody is an absolute must.
As would fair distribution of other aspects like spawn side: It makes no sense and is unfair that blue / red always spawn on their respective sides, especially in some maps like Afghanistan, Denmark. And would be easy to fix too…

I’ve sunk more hours into racing sims than in WT, and even when a racing sim has all the conditions variables available for set up… Everyone is running dry weather, optimal grip, no distractions, bar long races that either have a 24h cycle or a simulation of that. Sure, people drive in bad conditions for the kicks, but when it comes to competitive… bone dry optimal weather and track state because skill expression or something. And WT is competitive 24/7, otherwise you are losing SL.
