Do any aircraft, e.g. by third party developers like Fenix and Inibuilds, have wiper fails, like they are broken (before take off, inflight eg bird strike). Then the backup Rain Repellant is deployed?
It was actually capable in fs2020 as well. The fss e jets have working wipers
The FSLabs A321 will have your wipers fail when operated outside of the allowed envelope!

Interesting. Is there a rain repellant option on fail?
It has been 3 years.
To all those saying itâs âutterly trivialâ - this is a graphical element right in front of you at the most crucial moments of every flight. You are operating heavy transport machinery, surely looking out the freaking windshield would be âkind of importantâ if not a core requisite?
SCS Software, an indie developer, already figured out clear-able windscreen raindrops in the early 2000s with 18 Wheels of Steel. That we are now in 2025 and well into the second installment of the biggest flight sim in history, and still have apologists brushing off such a feature as âtrivialâ is a huge slap in the face. If weâre going to adopt this kind of cr@p attitude, why not do away with other trivial stuff like VNAV (which doesnât work half the time any way), or flaps (which donât retract properly) or air traffic control altogether?

As I mentioned in an earlier post, in the BBS Shorts they work. I can only assume they have a portion of the windshield that the wipers cover that are not affected by rain when the the wipers turned on. Like a cutout placed in line with the rest of the glass. If so they did an amazing job of lining it up as I never noticed a seam. Essentially it doesnât really move the water, the rain just doesnât draw on that part of the windshield. But the effect is what you want, a clear area of the glass to see through.

I would actually be happy with this level of rain and the work the windshield wipers do⊠I have to say that now something is finally moving (see A350 inibuild)âŠwho knows in the futureâŠ
I had already posted an example..
repost
here we are even at high levels!!
Blacksquare did it easily in king air overhaul⊠
But Asobo
as been helpless for 4 yearâŠ
I also think âfunctional wipersâ leaves this very open ended and only gives you what you asked for. (Functioning wipers) not wipers that actualy clear the windscreen. Ive seen tgis on so many bug reports. For instance the âoverexposureâ so they gave us an exposure slider. But the bug was for the bloom . Not exposure.
No, the bug was the exposure changing automatically depending what the view was looking it.
I donât get this post, if itâs âutterly trivialâ, doesnât that mean they are actually criticizing MS / Asobo for not addressing something that is âutterly trivialâ in 4+ years?
That was my reading. Not that it was a trivial issue, but trivial to resolve. Itâs possible that neither is true.
