Need help, Cockpit Windwhield scratch can not be seen, why?

[bin801]

I like those scratch on cockpit windshield. it will show silk-like reflection under sun shine.

 

But I lost them. both for FC3 SU-27 and MIG-21.

But I can see it on FC3's F-15.

Is there any advanced setting need to be check to activate those scratches?

 

Thanks

I like those scratches, they can be seen only in DCS

Rendering bug currently. Hopefully we can fix it later.

Please don't fix it! Bad for spotting!

I vote for less scratches! It looks like somebody washed my canopy with sand-paper. Some scratches are ok, but not this many.

Shoulda used 12,000 grit

I never saw those as scratches in DCS... more like cracks in the canopy class that are visible only at some angle or Gs. Like the canopy bends under stress revealing them more.

 

I like them.

Hope you can fix it.

More or less , like or dislike depending on different people, but it is real !!

Good or not good for shooting should be considered after reality.

Because real really makes DCS different from all of the other simulations.

Yes, they can be seen only at some specific angle. Now I can only see it FC3 F-15.

Yes, as you said, it is highly possible not caused by cleaning scratches. I don't think those are scratchs. But I don't know what is the name. So I use an incorrect name try to describ it.:cry::smilewink:

I keep this question for long time.

Maybe some friend in forum can answer,

What are those?

Is there a common name for it?

What cause that?

 

 

Thanks

A pic or video of the real thing would be interesting, because my visual interpretation of this tells me this is spider web…

The slight distortions seen in the canopy when viewed from the pilot's p.o.v. could have resulted from several sources, and are not all from the same effect, even though they may give very similar appearances.

 

Most modern canopies are made of various forms of acrylics.

 

The surface, or internal structure, of such canopies can be damaged by improper or hasty cleaning (scratching), protection by covers over slightly dirty surfaces (abrasion), heat-cold cycling (stress), ultraviolet radiation damage (chemical) or the use of improper cleaning material damage (hazing), among others.

 

They appear to the pilot to be much the same, but can result from several different sources of damage to the canopy material.

 

Because the source of such visual distortion damage varies, their appearance and likelihood of successful repair likewise varies.

 

I searched for images, and found a variety, which varied slightly from one example to the next, depending upon the source of damage.

 

Spider-web appearance suggests an impact form of damage.
