New rain effects - Faster wipers, a little more tweaking
While I would say the updated rain effects in version 1.7 are an improvement (rain obscures your vision a bit more in interior cams which feels more realistic and immersive) I think they could still use some work.
Rain on the windshield being too white, not transparent enough, etc had been mentioned in other places so I won't repeat too much on that. Wiper speed I haven't seen mentioned though
"Storm" conditions feel like too much for the current wiper speeds, and the advantage of bonnet/bumper cam over dash/cockpit too pronounced. Here's a short clip of morning storm conditions in Rusava. You certainly can see the road, and I'm not saying it should be super easy but note the speed of the wipers.Compare to this DR 2 video featuring heavy rain - The wipers are moving faster, and the brightness of the light reflecting off the rain is much more subdued. The contrast between the water on the windshield and the road in front of you is less drastic.

(used this video as an example before I recorded my own, gonna leave it) This video shows the new rain effects, although this doesn't look like "storm" to me. Note the speed of the wipers and how quickly the windshield fills up with water between each pass. Also note how much easier it is to see the road in the non-cockpit portion

I'd love to see a 3rd wiper speed, or to have the current 2nd speed increased, as well a slight adjustment to the rain itself regarding the lighting. If you are able, go hop in a car and see how fast the wipers go - mine are noticeably faster than we have here now. Snow is another story and needs more IMO but I wont worry about that here!
