Washing the plane

Darth Patzer

@pete_auau Yes, I know that IRL

There is no dynamic dirt. It's just what the livery came with.

@Tadeus72
It's hard to believe.
All liveries have dirt and it looks exactly as it looks on other planes with dynamic dirt.
No real pilot will take off with that (if he can wash the plane)

Tadeus72

Well, you won't find an ally in me I always said that I dislike Blacksquare planes being so pristine and am super happy that they have some dirt nowadays.

Obviously, dynamic dirt would be optimal for everyone to get what they like, but Nick already said, that he made multiple tests with the dirt layers and they always had a significant performance impact so for now he decided not to use this feature.

Dirt == flying time and fun

@Tadeus72 You mean that dirt that looks like dynamic dirt comes from the liveries, all liveries ?? For me that simply can't be !

The dirt is part of the livery itself. You could make a perfectly clean livery but it will never accrue dirt or discolour.

I dont own aircraft that do like the FSW Lancair that does use dynamic dirt so cant comment on how well that works.

Darth Patzer

@Woolies So I don't understand why liveries makers add this dirt. I can see it on every livery in flightsim.to

@Darth-Patzer You'd be shocked. There are airplanes that our shop services that the only time they get washed is after the annual and they fly 100-300 hours a year.

No true pilot puts sugar on his porridge.
