Well, I just reach up and turn the knob, but your aircraft may not have them.

I just get out of the plane in flight, crawl over the nose with a bucket of soapy water, and wipe the screens with a sponge*...

...works for me...and saves draining the battery!... Smiley...!

(Providing the Aircraft is not fitted with a Wiper Switch...and Animated Wipers...)....Wink... Wink...!

Most FS9 aircraft models don't have animated wipers, but I've run across a couple add-ons that do. As far as turning them on, it depends entirely on the model.

If memory serves, there are also a few wiper "gauges" out there that can be added to the panels of aircraft you'd like to see them on, but I've never tried any.

And can not I set up it in Settings ? For example - I will push "U" and screen wipers will turn on ? And does the FSX Boeing 737 have screen wipers ? Thank you for your help  Wink

None of the default aircraft have wipers in FS.  You cannot assign a keystroke to the action because Microsoft does not support it.  The only reason some add-on aircraft have working wipers is someone has created an animated gauge file for the panel.
