Chrisakky Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Can't find this in the search so sorry if its already been asked but can we have rain droplets across the canopy when raining or flying through clouds? A bit like this... It would really add to the experience in bad weather. Thanks. YouTube channel
genbrien Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 +1 what would be really cool, is to see FZRA, or different type of precipitation on the windsheild. But just RA would be good :music_whistling::D Do you think that getting 9 women pregnant will get you a baby in 1 month?[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Mobo: Asus P8P67 deluxe Monitor: Lg 22'' 1920*1080 CPU: i7 2600k@ 4.8Ghz +Zalman CNPS9900 max Keyboard: Logitech G15 GPU:GTX 980 Strix Mouse: Sidewinder X8 PSU: Corsair TX750w Gaming Devices: Saytek X52, TrackIr5 RAM: Mushkin 2x4gb ddr3 9-9-9-24 @1600mhz Case: 690 SSD: Intel X25m 80gb
BlueRidgeDx Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 It would be a nice effect. I've seen some video of an F1 racing game that has really impressive rain effects on the windscreen and helmet visor.

digitaljjd Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Rain would be nice, but an internal damaged cockpit model to match the outside damage model would be even nicer.
Pyroflash Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 +1 to rain, it would add more immersion, plus make it harder to fly in the stuff. also freezing rain wouldn't be too bad, you would just crash if you flew in it for too long. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
S77th-konkussion Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 yup. very cool if it could be implemented w/o killing performance. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
Chrisakky Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 yup. very cool if it could be implemented w/o killing performance. Yer performance was what i was worried about with my rubbish set-up :crash: YouTube channel
Mustang Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 yup. very cool if it could be implemented w/o killing performance. Indeed, could also be something that you can enable/disable in options, and it doesn't have to be a realtime effect either, that alone could save alot of FPS.
Gupyzer0 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 i would like that :D + more servers putting some rain on the weather :P
BTTW-DratsaB Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Nice Rain in Rise Of Flight yup. very cool if it could be implemented w/o killing performance. Rise of flight has the best Rain effect I have seen in a flight sim. When they implemented it there was no change in FPS at all. It has some very cool effects where the rain drops roll the correct way depending on "what way up" you are. E.g. I cashed my plane and was upside down and the rain drops where flowing the correct way, "Up" my goggles. heh heh. They also streak more depending on speed and wind. Id love if they could "borrow" the effect from RoF. Specs: GA-Z87X-UD3H, i7-4770k, 16GB, RTX2060, SB AE-5, 750watt Corsair PSU, X52, Track IR4, Win10x64.

112th_Rossi Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Yep. +1 And fogging. Maybe have a use for those anti-fog controls? ;)
LostOblivion Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Imo snow and rain should be implemented in another way. Like it is now, it seems snow and rain particles is rendered without applying camera transforms first, making particles appear to move around when you look around. Nice plane on that gun...

goldfinger35 Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 There is a simple mod for DCS: Black shark. It adds static cockpit rain droplets on cockpit ka50 glass to give the effect of wet weather. It looks pretty good when used in game: i7 920@4.0Ghz, 12 GB RAM, ATI 4890, LG L246WHX@1920x1200, Saitek X52 Pro, Saitek pro flight rudder pedals, TrackIR4, Audigy 2ZS, Logitech G9x, Vista 64bit.
csper Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 +1 it's wonderful idea! I wanna see this in DCS's sims.. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Shinigami Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 you know what would be really cool, ice in rotor blades or cockpit :D La guerra, asi como es madrastra de los cobardes, es madre de los valientes. Cervantes. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Bushmanni Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Realistic looking raindrops on canopy would hinder visibility more than would be realistic unless depth of field and stereo vision is modelled also. 3D and depth of field is possible technically but player can't easily control the distance where the image would be focused. In real life it's possible to see "through" the droplets and not get distracted by them but without these additional features it's not possible and would be cool only for a minute after you would turn it off as it makes seeing outside unrealistically hard.

I guess it would depend on the amount and size of the drops? Edited May 16, 2011 by Chrisakky YouTube channel
Shinigami Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 I think that Comanche vs Hokum had the raindrops thing and if I don't remember bad it wasn't annoying. More over the new Il-2 has the raindrops and ice in the windshield and it looks fine to me. Shinigami Out... La guerra, asi como es madrastra de los cobardes, es madre de los valientes. Cervantes.
