Hi,

Just flown my first mission in the rain. I noticed an opaque disk in front of the aircraft which moved as the POV moved. It was only visible from the front except when I landed it was above the aircraft.

It's clearly something to do with where the rain effects are coming from because when the rain wasn't coming at your POV you couldn't see the disk.

This mission was early morning so quite dark. When I flew a daytime mission in the rain I couldn't see the disk, so it must only be in certain shades of light when it's visible.

Cheers

Albert

"A great deal of an aeroplane could be holed without affecting its ability to fly. Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."

No need for more screenshots, it's how the sim engine renders that particular effect with certain conditions currently.

Cheers Pol, I’ve only seen it once so far.
