silent one Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Ive been a way a while so Im unclear as to development. I see in youtube vids that there are going to be rain on windscreen effects in future. With that in mind are we going to have working windscreen wipers in BS? I loved this in EEAH and would pay extra to have it here :)

Devrim Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 There's a raindrop texture in the textures of Bf-109 module. I wonder what are they for, but I have a feeling that the time we will see raindrops effect on the windshield will getting close. :) Intel i7-14700@5.6GHz | MSI RTX4080 SuperSuprimX | Corsair V. 64GB@6400MHz. | Samsung 1TB 990 PRO SSD (Win10Homex64) Samsung G5 32" + Samsung 18" + 2x8"TFT Displays | TM Warthog Stick w/AVA Base | VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle | TM MFD Cougars | Logitech G13, G230, G510, PZ55 & Farming Sim Panel | TIR5 & M.Quest3 VR >>MY MODS<< | Discord: Devrim#1068

kontiuka Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 not just raindrops but a smear effect when the wipers are on.
Gazza.Blake Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 What is it and sim creators leaving out the rain effects on canopy's and wind shields ? Its one of the most needed effects to bring the realism of flying in poor weather. I know its all about resource and spending wisely when it comes to programming but with today's hardware such as 4,6,8,10 ... mutli-core processors, high performance DDR4 along with state of the art graphics cards, all of which these days most people have clocked to the max surely this is a must ?

Yurgon Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 With that in mind are we going to have working windscreen wipers in BS? What's wrong with the current wipers?
silent one Posted February 9, 2018 Author Posted February 9, 2018 What's wrong with the current wipers? Theres no rain for them to wipe. Its an immersion thing. EEAH_ EECH had wipers that interacted with the rain. It looked great and was atmospheric. I loved it and I want it back in my fave sim :) Im not slagging off BS2, its just a suggestion for improvement in the future. If you were playing a Le Mans racing car sim and the track was wet, wouldn't you want the immersion of the rain on the windscreen and the wipers working? DCS and IL2 are incorporating rain effects in the near future. Which is great :) Id love it if the BS can get some additional love to bring it back to the party :)
Yurgon Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Theres no rain for them to wipe. Haha, okay, I see. ;) Just a wild guess here, but I don't think ED would be doing this halfhearted, meaning when they incorporate rain effects on canopy, I can't imagine that the wipers on something like the oldest DCS module would not interact with it.
kingpinda Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Haha, okay, I see. ;) Just a wild guess here, but I don't think ED would be doing this halfhearted, meaning when they incorporate rain effects on canopy, I can't imagine that the wipers on something like the oldest DCS module would not interact with it. well they don't. they wipe but vision is just as clear as without wipers.
Yurgon Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 well they don't. they wipe but vision is just as clear as without wipers. Great necro. There's no rain effect on the Ka-50 canopy yet, so the wipers do what they've always done.
Sceptre Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 huey and mi8 have rain on canopy but the wipers do nothing.

Crash * Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 huey and mi8 have rain on canopy but the wipers do nothing. I hope we can get working wipers for all choppers at some point That is long overdue. With the new lighting, improvements to the windows are due. You could add that right away.

Dehuman Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 If we get working windscreen wipers tomorrow I am never flying on a clear day ever again.
Georgio Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 IL-2 currently has great raindrop effects when you fly through clouds and they stream back from the canopies very realistically. No reason why the same couldn't be incorporated into DCS though more for helos as jets tend not to worry about wipers...:D
Boosterdog Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Well at present the wipers do not react with the rain. They wipe but the drops are not affected. Conversely the droplets do not interact with the wiper (as in follow its contour). The presence of the downdraft of two whacking great rotors seems to go unnoticed too.

silent one Posted February 22, 2020 Author Posted February 22, 2020 I want this too. It was one of the hugely cool things in EECH / EEAH it was very immersive. Id get bs3 to get this. lol.
bies Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 It will be definitely very nice feature. I remember EE:AvH with rain on canopy and working wipers, it was really impressive in 1998. I think ED had some other focus with lighting and other stuff but rain and wipers are a matter of time I believe. It adds a ton of immersion especially for the choppers.
