I don't see any of those nice effects on windows anymore. The ones where if the light from a star is at the right angle you can see the light/ scratches on your canopy windows. Is it just me or has this disappeared?
Window effects gone

As far as I’m aware, the cockpit glass textures were removed in Odyssey - now we only get condensation or ice whenever the temperature is at the right level, or cracks when damaged.
I haven’t checked Legacy, but they used to be visible there last time I played it though downgraded from what they used to be pre-Horizons.

I miss them too. I don't remember, were they removed with Odyssey, or later? I imagine, much as the glass in concourses, the window effects might have been a performance killer with the new material rendering of Odyssey?
I always assumed it was just a specular map for the glass texture. If it was, I don't see how it would affect performance noticeably, it would also mean it's not impossible to bring it back someday. But I could be wrong of course, I don't know how the window rendering works. But it kind of feels like the effect was removed more or less by accident when designing the new ship textures for Odyssey.
I just want to let everyone know that I myself still have the specular highlight effect of the sun in the cockpit windows in Odyssey?
I am fairly new to the VR scene (since this summer) and had quite some trouble to get the right setting for a smooth fps.
Finally found one and am amazed ever since about the great views. Literally a game changer!
I have a HTC Vive Pro 2 and run via steamVR 2.8.8 with Vive console 2.0.24.7 and a GTX 2060.
