fixed [REPORTED]Rain drops in vr not visible like non vr

[LtDanTailor]

I can see raindrops aswell. Of course I enabled them.

But there are, so to say two kinds of raindrops: Those floating over the canopy and the ones that fall on it, stay, and disappear after a few seconds. In VR only the last mentioned are visible.

Those moving over the glass are not visible for me, not really. In fact I found out, that on my Reverb some sort of fragments of these drops are visible only for the left eye, and they´re not moving at all. For the right eye there are just not there. As someone mentioned here these raindrops could be in some kind of two different layers.

Anyway.. complared to 2D the VR drops are broken, just as I saw them when they were implemented in 2018.

Exactly this ^

It's the same as mentioned before in this thread. Rain drops are visible, BUT the new rain drop effects are not. The kind that follows the contours of the canopy are not visible in VR. It does seem to be 2 layers to this. The small drops which has always been there. Then, the 2nd layer which has the new effects which is not visible.

Rain drops in VR, what I am seeing, it seems ok for me.

Bignewy - there is a difference in rain drops rendering between 2D and VR : in 2D you have the little "static" ones that drop on canopy and don't move, AND the bigger "dynamic" ones that moves on canopy in relation with gravity and aircraft's speed.

 

In VR there is only the little "static" ones.

(see pictures from same track 2D and VR replay : 1st 2D 0 speed, 2nd 2D with some speed, 3rd VR 0 speed - with speed increasing little drops just disappear but don't move).

hey toutenglisse

your description of this problem is perfect,

it's exactly what I meant when I started this tread. BIGNEWY, do you see the raindrops moving when you move with your plane?

 

thanks for relooking in this problem :)

[BIGNEWY]

Thanks all I will take a close look.

[Highwayman-Ed]

Exactly the same here as toutenglisse describes for me with a Pimax 5K XR too.

I experience the same thing in both occulus and now reverb. I also noticed some artifacts, as if the drops with motion are occurring, but with a weird orientation or perspective when in VR. If I can grab a screen I will.

I have reported different rain effects for vr and 2d users, thanks

[Gunslinger22]

Still getting the same problem nearly two years later. Would love to see why us VR users haven't had this added?

Rain is visible in VR, just not quite in the same way, it is heavier in 2d.

Thanks for the quick reply! I know we have rain drops in VR, but I was referring to the dynamic rain drops, rather than the static ones I'm only getting in VR.

[pimp]

Unfortunately, this is still an issue. No dynamic rain drop effects in VR. As stated throughout this thread, you can easily notice the difference between 2D and VR. The bigger dynamic rain drops, that move with the wind and the contours of the canopy, does not appear in VR as they do in 2D.

@BIGNEWYcan you clarify the status of the bug you reported in February of 2020?  
Your comment from April of that same year suggests that maybe this is no longer considered a problem, and is just “different” in vr.

Is this slated to be fixed?

[Flappie]

I've just checked: the bug report still exists and was bumped a few months ago.

I think we need a video montage showing the same scene in pancake and in VR, side by side. It might help. I'm not equiped for VR but I can do the track, the pancake clip, and the final montage. I'll post a very simple track tonight so a VR user can provide the VR clip.

[Flappie]

Here's the track. I recorded the pancake clip. Can someone please record the VR clip? Please don't move the pilot's head while recording.

Here's the VR track you requested.

Thanks @pimp, but what I need is a video clip taken from of a VR gear (filmed with a phone, I guess?).

[pimp]

Thanks for trying, but it really should not have to take all this effort. This can easily be tested and anyone with VR can clearly see the difference as soon as you un-pause the game. Not to mention there's plenty of evidence in the thread already. Yes there's rain in VR, but the dynamic rain drops that roll on the canopy does not show in VR, but it does in 2D. TBH, this issue is not even that crucial, which is probably why no one from ED has taken anytime to look at it. So, thanks again for checking on the status @Flappie.

*RANT ALERT!* Drives me nuts... I have tried this mod, another mod, no mod, with shaders, without shaders, VR, pancake... In all possible combinations... I only saw Drops once, and they were tiny and only in the Tomcat. Can someone do some DCS voodoo and explain how this is supposed to work??? (Desired end state: to see drops of ANY kind on EVERY plane...). Thanks.
