Icing visual cues

Winter is coming! 

Noticed no more Icing visual cues on windshield wipers are existing in 1.33. XP11

Its looks so cool in XP10.

Seems it exist on right wiper only, outside view

And not exist inside, except little screw on wiper

Hmm, to tell you the truth I don´t remember if we ever had icing cues on the windshield wiper...we did have it on the windows (the "eyebrow shape"), iirc.

I have to check when I get home tomorrow (currently on a trip, flying) if I get icing on the wiper screw...and then talk to Tom if we miss this effect on the CPT´s side.

Cheers, Jan

Hmm, I don´t know what tricks Nils did back then with the ice collecting under the wiper...I honestly don´t remember having that, but it could be some shader trick that does not work anymore with XP11.

I just doublechecked and the "right wiper icing" is actually a visual artifact of something that went wrong with the wiper geometry. I always see it, even in sunshine and +20C. If you look really close you can see that the hinge of the right wiper is twisted by 90 degrees...I filed a bug.

 

The only visual icing effect I am able to get is windshield icing over if I turn off the window heat (only the leftmost switch actually has an effect on the windshield icing).

 

 

Definitely some room for improvement here for XP12...
