When the storm looks like this, you better be driving something built for it. 🌩️ 📷 zeezeelance #OUTBRK #StormChasing #Gaming #Tornado #Dominator

Weekly Challenges issue is fixed! Thanks for your patience! Make sure to update your game client as soon as possible, the challenges are back online. 🌪️

We have to take the Weekly Challenge game mode in maintenance for a couple of hours to fix an unexpected bug with our rotation scheduling. Quick Chase and Group Chase are still available as usual! 🌪️

🌪️ Storm of the Week A massive tornado on the horizon… and a tiny house in the foreground. The scale says it all. 🌩️ Mr.Omen earns 10,000 OutBucks 💰 Share your shots in our Discord for a chance to win. #OUTBRK #StormOfTheWeek #StormChasing #Tornado #Gaming

🌪️ Tornado on the horizon… 🚗 Car stuck in a tree… Yeah, that seems about right... 🌳 📷 mors2657 #OUTBRK #StormChasing #Tornado #Gaming #TreeProblem

@The_Johnny_Boi This runs on a cluster of extremely powerful machines, essentially a super-computer cloud setup. So it's not really possible on client-side unfortunately!

@OutbrkGame That's not bad at all. And is this with an array of servers or is this running off an individual high-end system? And would this be something where a user could run a simulation client side based off a model for a small area? Or will this be exclusively server side?

Look at that! Not bad!

The Weekly Challenges update is now LIVE! Jump into the new game mode, compare your score, gain extra rewards, and share your strategy to intercept our first week challenge: Tornado Frenzy! Full Patch Notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/11073…

Not really. OUTBRK generates the weather using a weather model rather than live radar data. Because the atmosphere has to be simulated first, it can’t directly use storms that are happening in real time. So it's either re-simulations of past events, or simulations of future events!

@OutbrkGame @GarodahKing @IsaacKrauss_Wx Thank you for the response, that is awesome! Very excited. Out of curiosity, is it not possible to do a currently happening storm?

OUTBRK Forecaster – Experimental Model Testing #wxtwitter #ILwxat 18z run today, initialized on HRRR . HRRR did a relatively good job today, wouldn't you agree?

@coolkid_028 We are going to start internal testing for it, so as soon as it's green lit.

@OutbrkGame when will this come out? the update with real scenarios

@The_Johnny_Boi About 15 to 30 minutes for 2h of simulation depending on various parameters.

@OutbrkGame Not bad, how long does it take for one of these models to be produced?

@treedogg17 @GarodahKing @IsaacKrauss_Wx Our goal is to make that playable *before* it actually happens

@GarodahKing @IsaacKrauss_Wx @OutbrkGame Wow! Wait, are you talking like live as in when it is currently happening? Or a real life storm that happened?

@IsaacKrauss_Wx @GarodahKing You need to run a weather model. There are several that you can experiment with. A lot of folks use CM1 and it's probably the easiest to setup on your own computer. We use a customized WRF model

@GarodahKing @OutbrkGame Do you have any idea how one could do simulations from an environment like this? Trying to get some stuff going here but the only ways I know how to simulate is using a skew-t

@clutchcurve We are closing in on our completely revamped tornado rendering system, check out our dev outlooks on steam !

@OutbrkGame it would be nice if the edges of the tornadoes werent just straight lines 😭

Rearview mirror check… BIG mistake 😨 A massive tornado closing in fast so the only logical response: youtube.com/watch?v=gUVFIC… 🚗💨🌩️ 📷 FNTrashPanda #OUTBRK #StormOfTheWeek #StormChasing #Tornado #Gaming

@stormleader2024 Yes, we are planning a feature named OUTBRK Forecaster, where when available, people will be able to virtually chase future model runs.

@OutbrkGame @OutbrkGame what exactly are you trying to say? Are you guys planning to put like future models into the game? Cause it also kind of sounds like you guys are planning to make your own real life weather model Which wouldn’t be a bad idea

@OriginWx Gotta try to get our model to work with it!

@OutbrkGame RRFS did way better
