Please check if aircraft window heating system are turned on.

Some freeware planes have this icing effect built into the model.

I agree that it is quite annoying and unrealistic.

You can remove the effect using the utility ModelconverterX which you can obtain here: https://www.scenerydesign.org/modelconverterx/

Hi Dave i seem too get this rain drop foggy low visibilty and sometimes it flickers in and out too being from clear too fogged up this happens in all the rikaddo freeware planes including the 787's--737 max 8 I dont mind the rain drops but with the foggy appearance on the windshield it makes the game word not allowed too play in heavy weather and storms.Thanks for the link i will download it and check it out.Is there any places specific in the like the sim object folder i should be looking for? or any other places which might cause this? and i have windshield effects switch too off in my p3dv5 world settings but no change in the issue. thanks alot for your help and thankyou too the other gents who chimed in on this issue. 🙂
