MOD BEST RAIN COCKPIT UPDATE 2.8

I just tried it with the latest OB - didn't seem to be doing anything, I didn't see any droplets.

It's quite a bummer. I hope 2.8 brings a fix with the weather stuff, but not going to hold my breath. Such a pity canopy effects are so underdeveloped and pushed far to the side - especially in VR...

The 2D rain drop effect is very gorgeous now. I wish VR or stereo mode could be the same.

  • pastranario3 changed the title to MOD BEST RAIN COCKPIT UPDATE 2.8

This mod is very cool and it is the first time trying the mod.   

Got a kick out of letting the F-16 sit on the runway for 10 minutes and seeing how saturated with rain the canopy got.

Thanks for this mod!
I've tried it first time today and looks like after takeoff (F-18),
some of the rain drops stays glued to the canopy and not removed even when at high speed.
known issue?

Cheers!

Is it possible to change the effect speed has on the droplets?null Would like to make this work for warbirds and slower aircraft in heavy rain but the raindrops end up glued to the front

I have got a comment on my little video, direct quote:

Might be difficult to code but would be nice if the drops on the window move like they are affected by the wind

Since I got a comment, it gives me an idea -- what is the difference between this mod and the original?

Standard is better probably. The whole point of this mod is to get the VR rain to look as good as the 2D rain.

Yes.. I saw in a mission with the Apache that there was sticky raindrops that suddently disappear when rain stops, and suddently reapear when start raining. 

I am going to remove the mod because of that, as there are no wippers in DCS still, and it is very hard and I think unrealistic to have those sticky rain drops there at certain speeds, specially with blades spinning over your head. 

I liked previously when the raindrops where appearing and disappearing gradually with speed.

Hey, really want to get this mod working but cant. so im a VR player and when i tested the mod all i get is rain drops that build up to the point that the entire canopy view is blocked. the rain doesnt move or clear in anyway until you fly into an area that isnt raining. i miss being able to have rain on the canopy from when i played 2d but with this mod its unplayable as i cant see within 1 minute and have to take off in the external view. hopefully im just doing wrong, but any help would be very much appreciated.
