Cockpit glass scratches?

[scotchegg]

Something I really liked in Lock On was small scratches in the cockpit glass. Really helped the immersion. The glass in the COD cockpits seems too perfect, and I seem to recall they were added in a later patch in SOW.

Possible?

Yep, WOP also did this very well.

would love it for COD.

i remenber reading scratches were a result of aging glass. on a brand new, (days or week old plane) it would be unlikely for it to be worn out already.

Maybe there should be more scratches as the 'Weathering' slider is increased.

Or maybe they should be added regardless of age of aircraft just for the immersion factor. Maybe its something that could be modded?

Before the realism police get in on this thread, I liked the look and feel of the scratches on wings of prey, but then, my car windshield is 6 years old now, and apart from a minor scratch on the passenger side from a loose chipping there are no physical marks visible on it anywhere. It gets dirty mind, but I don't think scratches are very realistic.

Aircraft "glass" is typically plastic, except for armored glass.

Plastic is easy to scratch, and would be awesome to have.

Armored windows is glass, and scratches, even nicks and spider chips, would be very unusual because rocks off of tiers do not fly up to 12,000 ft!

Armored Glass - scratches Plexiglass - Swirl marks

Wax and glass cleaner was used in 1940

I would rather hear a real engine of a 109 or spitfire then side track luthier on scratches
