MemphisBelle Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Hey there Pilots, Yesterday I was sitting in my A-10C Cockpit, beginning the Mission on the Ramp. It was raining and it was a quite nice Athmosphere. But then I thought that it is somehow strange that the rain is not taking any effect on the Canopy once I closed it. So to go further, I really would like to see raindrop getting pushed back along the canopy while rolling and gaining speed on the runway...or raindrops taking effect on the canopy at all. I have an example for what I am talking about. So please watch the Video below starting from 0:35 seconds on to see what I mean... I don't know whether this is basically and at all possible and if, how much performance would it cost...but it nonetheless would be an freaking awesome feature.

macieksoft Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Would be nice. Wipers is Ka-50 will become usefull. Also rain effect on Shkval would be nice to make Shkval wiper usefull. DCS A-10C is only for enthertaiment??? Not for me. JDAM manual is classyfied??? Not for me. Lies sounds like a truth??? Not for me. Knowlege is for kids??? Nope, its for me.
Mnemonic Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 That is something which was asked here from LOMAC (pre Flamming Cliffs) era. I actually like how effect is done in ROF, looks super awesome there.
Brun Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Simulating fogging of the canopy in the appropriate conditions would be cool as well. Asus Z690 Hero | 12900K | 64GB G.Skill 6000 | 4090FE | Reverb G2 | VPC MongoosT-50CM2 + TM Grips | Winwing Orion2 Throttle | MFG Crosswind Pedals
Wolf Rider Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 It would be nice to have rain/ snow fall, as drops/ flakes, etc over an entire area (yes, including on the canopy) like it does in RL :) 1 City Hall is easier to fight, than a boys' club - an observation :P "Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us." - Jefferson "Give a group of potheads a bunch of weed and nothing to smoke out of, and they'll quickly turn into engineers... its simply amazing."

Davis0079 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) they do good rain in other flight sims.....dont see why it cant be done here check out min 5 for a good example Edited June 1, 2013 by Davis0079 1 It only takes two things to fly, Airspeed and Money.
TimeKilla Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Would be great! 1 :joystick: YouTube :pilotfly: TimeKilla on Flight Sims over at YouTube.

EchoMasterMind Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 I agree! This would also increase the "cozy" factor when you're simply flying in a rainy weather. Speaking of bad weather; do anyone knows what happens if a jet is struck by lightning? Is it affected at all? 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Avilator Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 At the very worst, a lightning strike would take out some avionics or an antenna. Most strikes result in only small burn marks that are easily repaired. The current just flows around the aircraft and continues on it's path to the cloud. EDIT: The above is true if the surface of the aircraft is conductive and the static dissipation system is working properly. Composite aircraft need special conductive paths built into the surface to not explode. I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!"

Oesau Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 I agree! This would also increase the "cozy" factor when you're simply flying in a rainy weather. Speaking of bad weather; do anyone knows what happens if a jet is struck by lightning? Is it affected at all? Ask IvanK what happens - he's had a couple of strikes in different a/c over the years
strikeeagle Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 I got popped a couple years ago. One hit caused 21 different burns into the airplane. Actually, we caused the discharge. In this picture of a temp probe, you can see the electrical path. This is the largest strike point. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris
Nybble Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I can't stress enough how the currect weather is an immersion breaker to me. The rain effect is so far below the DCS:W standard I can't understand how it hasn't been touched up yet. Also when you look down you can see a line where any weather effects get cutoff and it just looks silly. Looking forward to an update on these effects. 1 DCS Multiplayer Highlights Reel -

Mogster Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Hopefully EDGE will provide new weather effects, rain on windows, wet runways etc.
