Mike Force Team Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 When it is raining, the wiper blades are able to clear water from the windshield. The wiper blades move from side-to-side countless times to sweep water (rain) away on the windshield so that the driver has better viewing when looking through the windshield. In DCS, the wiper blades move back and forth, but do not clear rain when it is raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wiper blades move from side-to-side countless times to sweep water (rain) away on the windshield so that the driver has better viewing when looking through the windshield. That is certainly an accurate definition of the window wiper phenomenon. But it does seem a little 'wishy washy', pardon the pun, to simply say the wipers are 'working' without clarifying whether they do indeed wipe the droplets away - or like all the other modules, just go back and forth but not actually wipe anything. - i7-7700k - 32GB DDR4 2400Mhz - GTX 1080 8GB - Installed on SSD - TM Warthog DCS Modules - A-10C; M-2000C; AV8B; F/A-18C; Ka-50; FC-3; UH-1H; F-5E; Mi-8; F-14; Persian Gulf; NTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalcoGer Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 @BIGNEWYCan you clarify what "working" means? We have "working" wipers in the ka50, in that the models move. but rain is not actually removed from the canopy. Do we get the same "working" or will they actually work? Will this feature then be extended to the other models that have anti rain/ice for their canopies? Be it wipers or bleed air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 3, 2022 ED Team Share Posted January 3, 2022 At the moment wipers that move and have variable speeds. I can not promise it will wipe rain yet, but it is something that we would like to do. 2 3 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Mike Force Team Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) There are several ways to fight windshield icing. The most common solution for light general aviation aircraft is known affectionately as the “hot plate,” which is a small, electrically operated rectangular heating element installed on the windshield, usually right in front of the pilot. They can be pretty effective but depending on the conditions may clear only a relatively small area of the windshield. Another option is a glycol-based system, which employs a mixture of glycol and water against ice. One popular system, called TKS, sprays glycol solution onto the propeller to remove ice; in single-engine aircraft, that fluid then is slung onto the windshield, providing some ice control. Some TKS installations employ a windshield spray bar. Glycol systems can provide either anti-ice or deice capabilities, sometimes both. Most aircraft powered by turbine engines have much more effective means of keeping the windshield clear. For many, hot bleed air—compressed air drawn from one or more of the turbine engine’s compressor stages is directed over the windshield. (Bleed air also is used to pressurize, heat, and cool the cabin.)

AlphaOneSix Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Of those three methods, none are the one used by the AH-64. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgillers3 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Well in reality it'd be the first option, an electrical heating element around the canopy. I see he's talking about other modules. Was confused on why were were talking about anti-ice on the windshield wipers.

AlphaOneSix Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I guess I'm just being pedantic about the "hot plate" which I've seen used on many planes. It's basically a piece of glass with a heating element that you attach in front of a plexiglass windscreen. I just thought it was funny that of the three methods mentioned, none consider having the heating element built right into the windscreen. In the AH-64 case, as you mention of course, the heating element is just built right into the windscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
