ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
Helicopter rotor downwash / dust effect, snow effect kills FPS during takeoff and landing (-30 FPS)
In dusty, snowy environments, the dust and snow effect is so strong that the FPS drops drastically, the simulator becomes unplayable. The phenomenon is present during takeoff and landing.
Another problem is that the dust and snow effect does not disappear after landing. The effect should only be present if the pitch angle of the helicopter’s rotor blades changes during takeoff. At a pitch angle of 0 degrees, there is no dust and snow effect.
The current dust and snow effect should be reduced by half. Another problem is that the dust effect also applies in areas where there is no dust. There is also a dust effect on the grassy meadows, which is incorrect.
Please use a slider to eliminate the effect, or to reduce or increase it. It is currently unplayable.
I have attached a picture and video!
