Wet Surfaces?

[mytai01]

Even though it's pouring rain, nothing appears to be getting wet. Everything except shinny surfaces would be getting darker and reflections from being wet would appear. Am I missing something?

I believe the Supercarrier supports this, but I think it requires SSLR which is computationally expensive.

SC also looks like wet and reflective during rain without SSLR, just missing nice reflections from aircraft and alike.

Agree this would be nice as without it, immersion is lost.  Also puddles following rain events.

I would appreciate this! Puddles would be icing on the cake, but only having the simple shader effects for hard surfaces and soft surfaces would go a long way...
You don't need to run any kind of reflections on those, so performance impact should be neglectible.

apparently its all in the works...

Wet surfaces are available for military versions of DCS not for us plebs

i don't think this has anything at all to do with DCS.

[diveplane]

wow that looks nice hope ed can implement that into DCS.

[Stratos]

I agree, it will be fantastic!

The wet surfaces effects at minute 0.35 to 0.45 looks awesome. Hopefully will be an inspiration for ED

a lot of shadows, lights and oc are not impletement, so wet surfaces...
