Rain drops in VR are ... ugly. Big drops at 15 cm of your face.
Who has a helmet with a visor at 15 cm of his face ???? I can't play with this, it ruins completely the immersion.
Yes, you can disable them in graphics settings by disabling particles but you lose all other particles too (like water spray effect from tires, etc...)
Please Codemasters, fix this in a later patch.
Thank you !
This doesn't only happen in VR, but also on a regular screen.
In the cockpit view, rain on the visor used to be blown sideways by the wind in F1 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, but I don't know why this was removed. Maybe it was because of virtual reality or a deeper change in the particle rendering system (which seems likely, since the spray is now very white and different).
It's really strange to see rain hitting the visor and just falling straight down — so unrealistic that I no longer play in the rain. It's a shame, because the car handling in wet conditions has improved a lot.
You can remove this "rain on visor" effect by disabling particles in the graphics options, but that also removes all spray behind the cars.
Please consider restoring the wind-blown visor rain effect, or at least give players an option to disable the visor effect separately from the rest of the particle system.
Thank you for your attention to detail — it’s one of the things that made the older F1 titles so immersive.
100% agree. The water droplets have absolutely zero phsycis and completely destroy immersion in any camera mode, not just VR.
it would be a massive improvement to code them to be affected by wind, even if this was just transitioning between two different animations... That might look a little janky but certainly better than big droplets that do nothing. A Visor camera would be my next big feature request. Automobilista have one and the immersion is fantastic.
