August 19, 20251 yr I'm looking for aircraft which has functional windshield wipers. Are there any? Test hardware: low-end i7-8700k, 3060ti, 32gb ram, GSync, NVMe, Beam Eye Tracker and Quest. --MSFS 20-24, DCS, PMDG... medium settings. Good fps. Vintage software: Win10 Pro, P3D4.5 w/ 100+ add-ons + FSX.
August 19, 20251 yr Yes! The Black Square Starship has functional wipers - don't run them on dry windscreens though lol! Edited August 19, 20251 yr by TangoSierraMike Tom
August 20, 20251 yr 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, 20251 yr 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?
