sthompson Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 The other day I flew Mission 6 of the P-51 campaign Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney (by Reflected Simulations). In this mission there is a strong wind from direction 350, heavy rain and a low cloud ceiling. After takeoff you are supposed to fly south at 180, that is, almost dead downwind. When I did this, flying downwind at about 300 knots IAS, the raindrops were passing me. How can that be? When I turned to direction 270 (so that the wind was coming from my right) the rain was blowing from right to left past my canopy. These would be correct if I were stationary on the ground, but wrong for an airborne plane where the raindrops should be approaching me from my reciprocal heading. That is, they should always appear to be coming from straight ahead if I'm flying straight and level, independent of the wind speed. I'm Softball on Multiplayer.

Rosly Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) 3 months later... on 2.7 issue still present This is so confusing and made the game almost unplayable while flying through rain/snow overcast. In VR is total no go, as you lose all orientation about actual movement of the plane. This exact issue happened to me while flying F-14 with IAS ~450 kts. It's ridiculous to see snow moving sideways in front canopy at that speed. This is bug #1 prio in my opinion right after jumping clouds and flickering contrails. Edited May 2, 2021 by Rosly
