I'd love to see your visor in the official S397 cars ..... It's your hard work, I know, but I think it would be great for the RF2 community to have access to these visors in the official mods.

But it's your work, nothing on earth requires you.

It's just a suggestion and a wish ....... it would be a sacrament !

SLOWMOTION is really an amazing modder, as far as I'm concerned the best on RF2, thanks to you guys. You are indispensable !
Good continuation.

Thank you mate. About the visor, I already wrote that we'll share with the community a pack containing all files and template to be used for allowing rain on visor, but the result is almost far from the real life and I think this is the reason S397 is waiting for improving the "official" mods, also if the result is the best we were able to do at the moment. Maybe in the future S397 will improve the rain effects and we'll see realistic visors that will allow rain drops of better quality.

Today the Predators mod is available with this latest visors, asap we'll release updated builds of the Palatov D4 and of the GP3 with new visors and finally the pack for free use with few advice.
 
Hello Slow Motion
I loved your visors in mod GP3. But in VR I thought she was a little away from my face. It gives the feeling that the helmet is too big and is far ahead of my eyes. I changed the GMT of the visor, leaving it a little closer to the face and I thought it was better.
I do not know if you have VR to test this, and I also do not know if others with RV agree with my choice. But I wanted to leave my feedback.

Thank you

We haven't the device so we based on this video:
But I could be wrong and I don't know if you can set the device... anyway I suppose there is both in the device/driver and in rF2 a default setting.
If you want to help us, I'd appreciate if you can take 3 screenshots, 1 for each rain visor:
1. BE SURE to have everything with default values in device + config files of rFactor2 (json...)
2. select VISOR ---> ENHANCED RAIN VISOR: enter into the car and from cockpit view, please take a screenshot in VR
3. exit and now select VISOR ---> 16:9 and do same with screenshot
4. exit and now select VISOR ---> 4:3 and do same with screenshot

Please note that the current public build no longer allows rain drops on visor due to some changes to the shaders, so don't care for no or bad dark drops of rain... you can take screenshots in a sunny day!

Finally please feel free to post here the screenshots adding which are (rain / 16:9 / 4:3) and the device you are using. Thank you very much!

Obviously any other mate that would be of help can post his 3 screenshots: it for sure is of help... maybe there could be differences also between VR devices...
 
I do not know if a screenshot will demonstrate what I say, because you will not have 3D vision. But I'll do it anyway and post here. I can also send you the changed gmt.

In this video that you posted, it is used in a monitor, so is perfect. The problem is that using VR, we have 3D vision and peripheral vision. This inner black edge of the helmet we see in the video (bottom) in the VR is about 10/15 cm from our mouth. I edited the GMT and put it closer to the face, making the 3D closer to the real.

This in my opinion got better, and avoided some motion sickness that I had with the visor farther away.

Okay... you can send files by email... I'll PM to you, thank you
 
After several attempts, for the moment we have taken the decision to do not develop specific visor for VR, because there are too many variable and different devices and settings that could behave in different ways...

...BUT...

First time of ever, SMMG is proud to present a new feature available in the incoming new build of the GP3 Series: the "tear-off visor"!

We know it is a real challenge to drive in the rain spray that intensify the rain itself, behind other cars... and it is what will happen driving the new build of the GP3 Series, but some rest for few seconds, thanks to the tear-off visor, will give a little help. Enabling the feature into the options of the mod, every "n" seconds (we are working on it) rain drops are wiped out simulating a tear-off visor like driver can do IRL.
Asap we'll also release, free of charge, a pack containing rain visors and tear-off features, that modders can use to improve their OW mods.

Thank you, we are happy you like the mod and your nice words are the best reward to us.

The new build 2.23 is ready for public release and it will bring to all of you:
- NEW Hi-Res visors that allow rain drops and new template
- NEW "tear-off" visor effect
- NEW personalized visors for a lot of drivers now in HiRes
- revised windscreen for a better quality of rain drops

In the meantime (I need a couple of days for uploading the mod for manual download, thanks to the very fast DSL here, LOL), here is the link to the new template for the Hi-Res visor, that must be used for all classes in case you want to personalize it...

I test it in a rainy day and i don't see the rear spray out of the car that i see with any other mod.
It's only my problemi?

I think so, because rain spray is managed by rf2 code. I never had this problem.
For instance, activating the rain visor and driving behind other cars, is a real challenge due to the rain spray on visor!

You are right and we already discovered the reason, in fact same feature we added to the Predator's and the Palatov D4 works nice.
Few more tests and I'll release a new build. Thank you.
