No wet runways with live weather?

Featured Replies

I never saw in live weather modus wet runways....

Edited by MelanieTV

I have downloaded Sofly's  weather presets, and with rain, you certainly see wet runways 🙂👍

I agree, I have not seen it either in Live Weather. There are LOTS of problems with Live Weather. 

I also noticed that there are no wet runways in live weather when it's raining. Also what I find unrealistic is how quickly the runway/ground dries when it stops raining when you use weather presets and actually see wet runways. It would be much more realistic if the ground stayed wet for much longer like in real life and we could enjoy the nice wet ground reflections.

Yhh iam sure its pretty safe to say the rain wet effects is connected to the presets. The guys on the MSFS forum saying same.

I can only repeat what I already wrote in the MSFS forum, it seems that it is only wet when there is a super heavy rain:

there are no wet aprons with live weather - I have already noted this in the alpha and sent it to ZENDESK - even with heavy rain! if you set the weather manually you can see the water puddles but I have never seen them with live weather.
no matter how long I waited, they were not visible. I think they should be visible even with light rain. It is a bug but apparently not important enough !! ! and they are always shown from a special “angle” (like above) you should see them from the cockpit or do you bend down if you want to see wet road ! ?
you have to vote for this here or send several reports to Zendesk otherwise nothing happens !

BR!

I was wondering why I have never seen wet runways and taxi ways but have seen them in videos uploaded by simmers! I have never used a preset.  Its live weather all the way.

after the update there are still no wet runways and taxi ways.

You will see it only in severe rain. The moment the rain becomes less then severe, in less then a minute the aprons are dry. 

Some people said they made Asobo aware since early Alpha but it never got addressed.

I dont know what you see or which settings you have.

 

i can tell you...me and my friend have now over 200h in msfs and we never had wet runways in europe....and we had a lot of rain the last weeks.

I haven't even seen normal rain either.

Yes some raindrops 2 weeks ago on the cockpit window...but not more.

As someone said above, light rain won't do it. Try LPFR now, heavy rain there and 38 knot wind gusts, lol.

It seems like only heavy rain will make the rwy and aprons wet. Not light rain.
