Water vapor in clouds

Recommended Posts

I was flying IL2 last night and notice it had a very realistic looking water stream and foggy mist on the canopy as you flew through the clouds; very cool.

 

It would be great to see this effect in DCS; perhaps with the new weather that's being worked on.

 

cheers

I have 50 hours in powered light military trainers, coming on 9 hours in gliders. I have flown through towering banks of broken cumulus on a hot summers day and intermittently through low hanging patches of pea-soup nimbostratus on grotty days where flying was marginal.

 

The only time I have seen water form on the windscreen is when there's actual outright precipitation, and even then - at a measly 85 knots - it was cleared by the slipstream at a such a rate that it's impairment to visibility was negligible.

 

It's a highly theatrical and over-rated effect that I personally find highly unrealistic. I would not like to see it parroted in DCS.

The effect is probably based on several factors, not just active precipitation. Although, I do find it overdone in IL-2, personally, but not entirely unrealistic.

Interesting video, thank you!

 

Well, in that case I adjust my position; I would wish to only to see this effect on heavily water laden clouds, i.e. nimbostratus, stratocumulus and cumulonimbus, not every time I pop through a tiny wafting fragment of cumulus...
