October 23, 20241 yr It's definitely important, but it's SMALL important. Every plane pilots manual comes with a full list of take off /landing specs for dry /wet/snow /slush conditions for a reason. Another reason why a weather api should be openly available for 3rd parties to see what miracles they can perform. This is definitely not something I'd ever expect to find modeled accurately in base sim. Russell Gough SE London
October 23, 20241 yr why create puddles that appear and dry out and not make it a realistic timeframe? in two sim versions? 😄 not on the critical list, but is a perfectly valid criticism

The only time I ever saw that, was in preset weather when switching from weather with rain to weather without rain. And in that case it would be correct, right? Why should I have wet aprons when the weather is clear? In live weather I never saw that and I would consider it a very rare edge case. Is there any video in YT that shows the phenomen with live weather on?

October 23, 20241 yr Sure it’s a small thing when compared to something like flight physics, but for me it sticks out like a sore thumb. Also you have those artistic scenery screenshots when a new airport comes out and they show wet surfaces - that’s just taking the pi$$ imo because you know you won’t be able to replicate that beyond a few seconds! everyone is different - I was never bothered about tree height for example - whilst others lost sleep over it.

October 23, 20241 yr one day I'll have to fly long enough in XP12 to know if it's blighted in the same way, but I really like the apron water effects in XP

October 23, 20241 yr Honestly, if they advertise the novel ground handling being influenced by snow, rain etc., I doubt that wet tarmacs are dry after 10 seconds without any rain. Would not make much sense to include such a half-baked thing into the sim, no? Wait....

The only things "adding up" as far as I can see are various net positives over MSFS 2020 in various core simulation areas Exactly. I'd love to have realistic water evaporation rates from tarmac as much as the next guy, but if I'm choosing between that and improved framerates and physics modeling? No contest.

October 23, 20241 yr I think now with the forthcoming season implementation they should be able to inject wet as well as snow. If the snow can stay, so can the wet.
