How to turn off the god awful oil in face effects?

[Cpt_Siddy]

This is dumbest feature ever, when playing in VR, you get a leak and suddenly your face is full of oil even tho you are not in the wind stream, sitting in your cockpit. 

 

Annoying as hell, adds nothing realism and is only a make poo 'eye candy'. Please add option to remove or at least streamline it to work like, you know, in REAL life.

[BMA_West]

If you mean FC, throttle down or shut off the engine and stick your head out of the cockpit?

The engine keeps spitting it out you know?

At least that works in ROF.

A blessing you are kept from its scalding sensation LOL

in closed cockpit, with no internal cockpit damage... no it don't spit it there. At least in real life.

 

At least give us key bind to give us a rag.... you can sell it as DLC for 5 bucks or something...

A bug report was written by Haza about the oil splattering your goggles in the closed cockpit.  I did my own quick mission with a bf-109f-4 (and not VR) and though I didn't get the oil in the face while the canopy was closed like you and he did, I did get it when the canopy was open but my head was still well out of the slipstream behind the winsdcreen. Unlike the water effects, there was no difference in the magnitude of the effect between being in the slipstream or out of it, which doesn't seem realistic or believable.  So, anyway...it's been reported.

Think if it like the blood splatter “wounded effect” for getting a damaged engine in WWI

?

This is not how to get the devs to listen to you,  just FYI.

Try a measured, mature bug report next time.

Those oil effects would be awesome in the windshield instead of the googles.

No, but its totally best way to vent my frustration. This effect must be annoying if you are on screen... for VR users? This drives us up the bloody wall. 

 

It triggers the "wipe my face" reflex, only much good does it do when you are wearing VR goggles... 

 

DLC rag for 5.99.

Rviving this old Thread, since i am a VR-Player too and goddamn, does that make the I-16 hard to get landed after a leak.
A wipe-button,to get that splatter out of my face, really would be a minimum.
It´s not that annoying in Flat-Gaming, but in VR .. pheww.. it´s actually gamebreaking, since it feels superweird to move the head.
Hey 1C.. please..

There's an easier and quicker solution. Don't get shot up.

You guys clearly don´t own a VR-hmd, or just never get shot in a I-16.
In Flat, you can just navigate via the corners of the screen.
Not so much in VR

Turn off the engine, works for me every time!

[dawud]

Still had those splats in my face.
Was flying tho´.

[danielprates]

In real life wouldn't that only smudge the whole thing over the goggles and make it worse? A rag.... might as well put a can of solvent in there to help out the cleasing.

I have VR and like to fly the I-16.
I don't appear to get this problem unless:
1. I get the engine shot up +
2. I also sick my head out from behind the windscreen.

[dawud]

It would be nice, if the "oil-in-the-face-effect"
would dissappear after a while, like the raindrops do.
Hiding behind the tiny windshield did not help.

In Flatgaming i could have used the corners of the screen, to limp back to an airfield
but since in VR, i could not focus on the corners without getting a headache.

Or the rain we have wash most of it off, quick diversion through the heavy cloud or shower.

[dawud]

Good idea.

Water, wiping or waiting are all terrible ways to try and remove oil from glass. The only thing that will restore vision through oiled glass is a surfactant. Anything else just moves the oil around the glass.

I thought gauges back then were direct input to engine instead of transducer?   Actual oil flowed to the dial in the pit and if it was damaged could actually spill into the pit at high pressure spraying at the pilot… 

 

or maybe I’m thinking too hollywood?

[dawud]

IRL, i would just wipe my face with my Jacket, in VR .. well not so much..
It sticks to the face no matter what.

[69th_Mobile_BBQ]

Wouldn't a firewall that's had holes punched in it allow oil to spray from a damaged engine inside a closed cockpit?  

If bullets can smash your instrument panel, I see no reason why they couldn't damage the firewall that's right behind said panel.

The jackets were leather exterior, they aren't going to do anything other than push the oil around.

 

Also, its obvious you don't have any experience with engine oil that's been in a running engine. You can wipe and wipe, but all that happens is the oil gets smeared around.

 

Additionally, in real life you'd be bailing out. Getting sprayed with hot engine oil is not something you just take your time cleaning up until it stops spraying all over you. And it won't stop spraying until the engine seizes.

Yeah, but have you tried wiping your glasses off with water in a 250 mph breeze??

[dawud]

Well, all that realism talk is all true, even tho´it does not really make a game more enjoyable.
I really just want to continue to fly & get my plane down safe after beeing hit, like i do on a monitor.
But since the splatter makes it near impossble to navigate,(the splatter does not move when moving the head, it sticks to the VR-view)
i really would like to have a solution.
I know it´s a very niché-problem in a niché-plane with a niché-setup (VR), but i´ts a problem none the less,
since the slightest damage to the engine/radiator, will make it nearly impossible to see anything.
From a gameplay-perstpective, beeing hit in the radiator/having oil in your face, should not mean instant death. 
But that´s just my 2 cents.

Should not be neccessary to wipe at 250mp/h .. the wind would do the trick.

A Nazi Pilot? 
I don´t wanna kill anyody IRL!

It´s a game and i could have easily landed, but i saw shi..

Sometimes your plane just doesn't want you to see any more. 

If anything, I'd like the possibility of less visibility from some oil leaks. And from flying behind leaking planes.

Simple.  Fly only night missions. ?

[Crocogator]

The oil does magically fade and move around... This makes it possible to see.

 

But in reality if you got a kerchief and rub in a small circle going outwards on your goggles or glasses it will clear the oil from the centre by pushing oil to the the edges of that area. So I guess it would be nice if you could bind a button to clear the centre of your view every now and then.

[69th_Panp]

? really this has been dead for 3 months 

[Beebop]

Seized up with no oil.?
