Mule Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Wow! Congratulations to whoever created the new rain effect. It is fantastic. I just sat in the cockpit of the Harrier with the weather on full rain. I don't know if it's the Brit in me (we love our rain) but man that adds some immersion. It is great and thank you! :thumbup: Fighter Pilot Podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkLarien Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The other day i was siting on the runway and did the same. Do try to roll around they even slide over the canopy in wind direction. :-) Lightning livery for M2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy10uk Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Sorry the rain effect is working on the harrier? I thought it was only available for the Hornet at the mo, and they would bring it in for others gradually.

jef32 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I've tried 2.5beta and 2.5 release and not rain effect at all. I've seen on youtube, a video with rain effect on SU-27, I've tried with this plane on my 2 versions of DCS but not rain effact at all.

3ra_Luke Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Rain Effects works automatically for any module with the most updated glass textures. I was happily surprised to see it worked with my C-101. For now it is not working with both A-10, Viggen, SU-25, SU-25T, SA-342 Gazelle, Hawk, Mig-21, Ka-50, L-39, ....too many Still testing. The rain effect makes a world of difference on inmersion. I hope eventually all planes get it implemented. Thanks ED!

ebabil Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 having rain effect is a great thing. adds lots of immersion for sure but it is still very much w.i.p. and has very long way to go. rain drops go away completely after reaching some speed. for example, huey has almost no rain drops after 40 knots. i am not expert on this but watching some videos about landing and taking off during rainy conditions, rain is not disappearing completely. rain traces stay all the time as long as rain continues. plus, some glass fog effect may help reflecting the reality of the weather into the cockpit FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texac Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 There is much potential for the rain effects to improve immersion. I'm thinking about the water on the canopy being lit up by light (e.g. interior lighting), especially visible at night. Or once taxiing out of the shelter, the rain starts to plop down & more. - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_mojo97 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Ok, so I tried with rainy conditions for the first time and these are my views (using CV1 and only tried with Harrier) and some may have been reported in other threads. I know it’s all work in progress. Rain still comes through the HAS roof Rain lands on the hud glass (both front and rear) and are smaller than canopy droplets. Rain drops are clearly visible on canopy but maybe not the best resolution (could be an effect of the rift res though). Rain drops on canopy not visible at night even with flashlight switched on which is a shame. Rain drops do not appear more quickly or slowly depending on how badly it’s chucking it down. When stationary the drops stay on the canopy where they land for a good period and they don’t drop downwards. The moment you start to move they disappear much more quickly. I do not see them trailing bckwards as I accelerate more quickly. They still look very cool The sound of them landing on the canopy is excellent. Overall, I really do like the effect - it’s rather immersive, and once it gets updated and polished, I’ll be flying in the rain most of the time! Maybe.

Torso Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 So it sounds like the issue with the rain on the hud glass should be easily solvable. Just make that glass texture like the canopies of the planes that have not been updated and it does not work for now. And apply the change to only the canopy glass texture. I mean this should be an easy fix. Also, it will be a real shame if the other modules don't see this for a long time..if never. There are many other good improvement tips by other posters here that should be looked into. The effect is a good start but I really hope they do not again, feel that it is just good enough and backlog the further work on it. Keep working on it please. It can get better with some eye for detail used in creating it. Details man, it is all in the freakin details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bin801 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The other day i was siting on the runway and did the same. Do try to roll around they even slide over the canopy in wind direction. :-) I did the same! for long time! and I smok inside the cockpit, IT is so calm in my mind, only hear the rain drop hit canopy........................ the whole world is calm down......... so .......good that is my Flight simulation dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falken76 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I guess it's pretty cool. It works in the F15C. On my system they disappear pretty quickly when you start to take off. They look amazing for the brief period I can see them. This feature only seems to work when I'm going slow at the airport, so it's really useless eyecandy. I'm uisng a 1060 6GB card and playing in VR. Do 1070, 1080 and 1080ti cards show the rain effects the entire time the plane is in flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
