viewing precip. from the cockpit

has anyone seen this before?i loaded up some real weather, and prepared to start my flight originating at KORD. visibility was limited and it was snowing nicely outside......except when i got inside the cockpit.once inside, i could only see it snowing when i looked out from different views. if i looked straight ahead, no snow. in order to see the precip i had to look either left, or back/left.i believe this happened in both vc and regular views. i'm pretty sure it hasn't always been like this as i can remember shooting some approaches with rain/snow on my windshield.any ideas?i was using activesky weather, and i tried a couple of different panels.thankschris

Yuo may not have noticed it before but it's a common problem.FS2002 models rain and so on in a kind of "box" in front of the aircraft. The way that appears in different views is determined by factors I'm unaware of but it's not unusual to have the effect your experiencing unfortunately.

bummer. i was hoping to just remove the offending panel or plane or whatever. thanks for the info....it prevented me from wasting time digging thru FS tonight.chris
