Scratches in the windshields?!

I actually think they are realistic.  Though IRL scratches only show up in certain light conditions and are almost invisible when the light is at a different angle.


That's when you see them in the sim as well. In most lighting conditions they're not visible.

Scratches are common on the GA’s that use Perspex and Lexan type Windows (and within limits, can be polished out) but not on the airliners such as the A320 with tempered, hardened, composite glass. Only a savage would manage to scratch the glass like that. You don’t even see scratches like that in your cars windscreen. It would be nothing short of vandalism to produce that level of surface damage on an A320.
