They are just textures which turn facing aircaft.

Are your clouds like that all the time (very high frame rate also)?I agree .. the rain on windscreen would have been a great thing.

love how the OP asked about rain effects and it was answered, and everyone is now talking about cloud colors and shadows

Not big deal

I just got an image from google to give better understanding what it is)My clouds:

Anybody remember the true volumetric 3D clouds in FS95? Been trying to get a screen shot. Let's just say I think you'll prefer the FSX sprite based ones

FS98, had blocks that I remember cruising over (:

x-plane clouds...

Take a look at the Flight 1 site for Rain Texture Fix for FSX. I tried it in the NGX, it worked,. but was tough on the frame rates so I disabled it. But if you want it, it's there for free.Google is your friend.

The problem is that to do rain on the windshield it takes a lot of animations - each section of drops has to be its own thing and there's a ton of frames needed to make it look right. We're very very close to FSX's hardcoded limit on these animations - if we exceed it, other stuff randomly stops working.I sincerely doubt that anyone would like losing things like the HGS or the 3d lights... that's what it'd take to have rain hit the windshield. There's just limitations we have to accept I'm afraid - FSX is 6 years old this year and showing its age.

i remember when it was shiny newmy pc couldn't even run the demo, and i was in love with fs9....time flies

if you mean the top link on this page - http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=librarythen that doesn't add rain to the VC. it fixes windows from aircraft that were ported from fs9 to fsx.as i understand, fs9 had the ability to produce rain droplets on the VC windows, but FSX took the feature out

Interesting, it added them for me.

Do a screenshot of your rain effect FSX VC.

+2Considering that it needs to be built into the model with custom animations i'd like to see proof of this as well, in the VC that is.Jim Burke

Sorry lads, it's uninstalled and I have no plans to reinstall. There is a very good write up on the Flight 1 page about FSX rain effect (how, why, etc). Needless to say, it conflicts with much that has been posted here. If you're interested in seeing it, then download and install it. There is a one-click uninstall option that comes with it (install or revert back to original). It's a much better option that debating...

Dave,Aircraft ported from FS9 to FSX had a problem with the windshield when it was e.g. raining.This fixed the windshield.
