To conclude it, having extra detail in the cockpit makes the cockpit-flying experience more immersive.
If it bothers you…
Maybe a setting option would exist that adjusts the amount of dirt or other rusty things could exist. So that you can turn it off/lower it if it bothers you!
I think for the quality of the game for now it would be not so nice to see finger prints on the screens of aircrafts. In a sim like mfs and xplane it is nice because their graphics are way better. But for IF it would be not so good…
It’s an interesting request, but I really do see this ever getting much traction. I agree with what others said in that this would drive me absolutely nuts.
I think that many are misunderstanding. Or are expecting this to be something that will ruin cockpit-flying.
Current cockpits in IF have some scratches(but since the current graphics dont illuminate in the cockpit, its hard to notice any) and just how that’s subtle i think that the same would go to fingerprints :)
If you think that i’m requesting to have dirty cockpits, you are mistaken. IF this was to be implemented it would be very subtle and would give a more real vibe.
IF used to focus on dirt/scratches and other things. This is seen by looking at the older aircraft, usually there is rust and other details. However now aircraft are very “clean”, rather too clean for my liking.
