ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
When using live weather and it is snowing, the windows and ground are showing raindrop splashes and a rain noise effect is heard.
This is only happening with live weather. Snow in custom weather is not affected.
Weather:
Snowing in live weather.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
It seems pretty consistent for me. I’ve encountered it on a few flights already, and have not found a location where the snow is appropriately silent.
Another user reported at Sounds of rain during snow but wasn’t logged as a bug for procedural reasons.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
-
Begin a flight at an airport where it is snowing
-
Verify snow reported on metar and can be seen falling
-
In walkaround mode, observe and hear rain splashes.
-
Inside the airplane, observe rain splashes on the windows and ground
-
Switch to a manual “Snow” weather. Observe that the snowflakes continue to fall, but the splash/droplet visuals and sounds are no longer present.
MEDIA
