Rain effects could use an improvement

I’ve just discovered that the rain drops only drop or move around your aircraft… As if there’s some kind of rain cover or curtain over your aircraft. As soon as you move the camera away from your aircraft like in drone cam e.g. there’s no rain at all! Even though you can hear the pitter patter of rain drops and the weather is still the same. Furthermore, you have to keep your aircraft on or running in order to see raindrops around it. That’s weird.

Also, there’s no interaction of raindrops in any of rhe outside cams… No raindrops falling around the plane when you’re in the air… No drops trickling around the body work…

Finally, the cockpit wipers are just for show apparently? They don’t interact with the raindrops at all. Interesting…

Xbox Series X

Planned for MSFS2024 methinks so unlikely before then (I suspect 2020 will catch up eventually)

Thank you!

The first topic isn’t related but the last two somewhat are. Appreciate it :+1:

PMDG 777-300ER windshield wipers do not actually wipe away the rain. Is that a MSFS2020 bug?

An upcoming third-party aircraft has this feature so it’s possible.
