737 windscreen wipers

[Guest Rwilson]

all, i have the 737NG on Flight simulator 2004. When it is rainy, i go on the overhead panel and turn both left and right windscreen wiper switches, but the wipers never move. What is happening?robbie

I've never seen them move either.

[Guest Rwilson]

then what's the point of it being mentioned in the manual?

[Guest samuel150892]

It does move, but only in VC NOT 2D pannel

as far as ive understood its only the 800/900 version that has working wipers and they are only viewable in VC mode

[Guest Rwilson]

i tried the VC! What on earth??

[Mats_J 2]

All electrical systems online?

[Guest Rwilson]

yup, battery on, APU off, APU bleed off, APU Generators on. mabey the simulator has a glitch in itrobbie

[Guest]

do you have the -800/900 and the model update for the -600/700 ?

[Guest Rwilson]

nope. I was meaning to get the 747-400, so i aint getting that

[Mats_J 2]

Robbie,The wipers are working. But only in the 800/900 package or the 600/700 package with the models update mentioned above. Are you using downloaded or boxed version?Have you tried outside view? Should work there as well.Cheers,

[Guest gremel]

Is there a way to get rid of the wipers in the flight model itself? I find them very annoying when trying to land. They prevent a good view of the outside surroundings since they are positioned in such a way to almost obscure a good visual approach...Anybody know of a quick fix?jack

[Guest Rwilson]

i have the boxed version
