August 10, 20205 yr Wondering as the weather is stunning and the effects on the windshield too. Has anyone seen a video when Flying through heavy rain ? Do we get massiv water on the shield or still "drops" ? Carsten U
August 10, 20205 yr I don't believe you would notice any raindrops while flying over 100+kts... but as far as MSFS is concerned I'm not sure of the answer...there must be a video on YT though. Edited August 10, 20205 yr by hangar Dave Kalin Excel Classes Computer Lessons
August 10, 20205 yr As the speed picks up you see the raindrops move from droplets to rapidly moving streams across the window. You dont see the drops any more, just the rapid moving water, and you get sound effects that seems to be convincing.

August 10, 20205 yr I was looking for such videos, too, but could find one. Unfortunately there is not any footage available that show that. At least that I have seen, they were flying with over 200 kn, so is obvious that there will be only drops. I am just wondering if they implemented an effect like in XP, where the rain really hinders you seeing outsite, when on slow speed or on the ground.
August 10, 20205 yr Well, at least in regards to prop aircraft, I find the rain effects pretty great. With engines off you see the droplets on the window (like we've seen b4 in p3d). When you start the engine, the droplets start to stream UPWARDS on the front window because of the propwash. As you increase the speed, the droplets stop showing up and you just see those streams of water rushing upwards. I dont know how it is in real life, but it totally convinced me. The only thing was the left and right side droplets streaming from front to back when on a low power setting. I would expect them to stream more diagonally, but who gives a word not allowed? Looks good anyway 🙂 Andreas Stangenes http://www.youtube.com/user/krsans78 Add me on gamertag: Bullhorns78
August 10, 20205 yr I was rather hoping for something like that. Though, I think the effect on XP is a bit too extreme, especially because you can not see that is rains outside...
August 10, 20205 yr Not just on the windscreen the rain hitting the ground is really good too in the videos I've seen.
August 14, 20205 yr Last I saw the windshield wipers have no effect on the windscreen of the 787 at least. Unplayable. Edited August 14, 20205 yr by High_Alpha
