August 19, 2025Aug 19 I'm looking for aircraft which has functional windshield wipers. Are there any? Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space. Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).
August 19, 2025Aug 19 Yes! The Black Square Starship has functional wipers - don't run them on dry windscreens though lol! Edited August 19, 2025Aug 19 by TangoSierraMike Tom
August 20, 2025Aug 20 The iFly Max has functional wipers as well. I found that they make more of a visibility difference in 2020 than they do in 2024, but if the weather is right at mins, they're still good enough in 24 to make the difference between getting in and a missed. Andrew Crowley
August 20, 2025Aug 20 Author Unfortunately, these planes that I thought should have functional wipers as high fidelity aircraft don't have them: the TBM 850, Dukes, FSR500, C414, and Arrows.

Do you think developers should prioritize modeling these features even if the real aircraft may not always include them?
