Canopy mist

[BlazingTrigger]

A quick question for ED,

 

First off great job on the rain effect, it's looking great. Will there be provision for adding canopy and windscreen mist? It'd be great to get the blowers working properly!

 

Many thanks

I'm a bit confised by the word "Mist".

Are you describing fine condensation on the canopy inside (sometimes referred to as "fogging up", like your bathroom mirror), or something else?

Yes, it's condensation however you have the anti mist switches.

I would also be looking forward this. (Though i think it's a really low priority(!))

 

Fog beginning at ~26secs in this F-16. Anyone able to find a similar video for an F-18 ?

 

 

NATOPS FLIGHT MANUAL F/A-18A/B/C/D

You can lose sight during landing...like it happened to this F-16 2011.

http://www.f-16.net/f-16-news-article4523.html

"According to the report, the aircraft's environmental control system caused extreme fogging that completely obscured the pilot's visual cues and severely affected correct execution of normal landing procedures. The pilot applied the defog procedure without success. Without the necessary visual clues, the pilot did not apply adequate aerobraking which increased his landing distance.

"

~45secs

 

The cabin of the second F-16 looks kind a more white on the inside:

F-18 doesn't get mist in the cockpit because its ECS system removes the moisture.

[BlazingTrigger]

The F16 also has a water extractor, misting can still occur.

The hornet will not fog-up/mist inside the cockpit(at least on the ground) like see when the f16s are on the ground.

What about people who fly with random system failures on, and the ECS system goes out?

 

 

Wouldn't it still happen?

 

 

This is also something that could be applied to other jets, which I think would be amazing. Really add to the "Oh shit, I'm in trouble!" factor.

Well, since its mentioned in the Flight Manual I think its possible.

Otherwise it would not have been mentioned I guess?

 

I have never seen a video or heard about it though (Except that Growler incident where the crew neary froze to death after the ECS failed...)

 

Guess we need to rely on some pilots opinion on this.

 

I could image it would be an interesting feature (especially in VR)

Here, get some "mist" on your windscreen
