Sergeant_Hamlet Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Under certain conditions, will the cockpit fill up with condensation? Example: https://youtu.be/TEJm_yRzXu8?t=578 1
JumpinK Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Does this happen often in the viper? I'd rather have such nice in-cockpit sounds than those in-cockpit clouds.;) "Landing on the ship during the daytime is like sex, it's either good or it's great.

Sergeant_Hamlet Posted May 25, 2019 Author Posted May 25, 2019 Does this happen often in the viper? I've asked that same question on hoggit; still waiting on consensus. It has something to do with lag from the heat exchange valves causing condensation in the cabin. Not sure exactly how prevalent it is, or even if it's a problem at all in our specific block, but if it's a limitation that the real aircraft faces then I think it should absolutely be included.
noisy_lightning Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 It's just condensation from the air conditioner in humid environments. Happens in the majority of aircraft, passenger airliners included under the right conditions. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
billeinstein Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 From C.W. Lemoine's "Hornet vs Viper": For Hornet: The ECS has an “anti-rain” switch that can help clear rain from the windscreen using the bleed air of the engine. For Viper: The ECS in the Viper also struggles in high humidity environments, where sometimes the vents produce a fog that can completely obscure visibility inside the jet. https://fightersweep.com/1904/hornet-vs-viper-part-three/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
