    You mean the fact it doesn't shatter glass? One word: alpha.

    How's the windshield unrealistic? If you mean the fact that the windshield doesn't fall out, it's because it would have a negative impact on performance.

    Maybe he's talking about how it cracks, but bends and never breaks.

    Real windscreens are made of laminated glass(safety glass) which doesn't break, it only cracks.

    There are times the glass stretches to an unrealistic level, but like Oxergy said, safety glass cracks, not shatters.

    He wants to say that it doesn't crack realistically.

    (something like that those are just some examples, in a crash it would look a bit different)

    It should start from a point and expand from there. But the game it's still on alfa stage so i believe they will eventually fix this. :)

    Those kinds of cracks are from the windshield being hit by objects such a baseball or a stone and not slamming into a wall at 60mph. There is not really enough of a need to implement something like that as its likely that you would never be hit by something that small.
