FSX-MS PrecipitFX

You can't, it has to be built into the model.

Like Richard said only a few add ons  have this feature unfortunately

Is Prepar3D looking into that to add it as a feature?

I never bothered with PrecipitFX.. My major gripe with FSX rain and snow was always

the "warp speed" effect that you see when looking forward.. And it seems the new textures

do nothing to fix that..  I can't stand that "warp speed" effect.. Particularly with snow.

It's there with rain too, but at least with the lighter textures it not quite as glaring.

And from what I can tell, that silly effect is still in P3D too.

Do you own PrecipitFX?

I bought PrecipFX a several days ago. :smile:

 

It hasn't rained since!  :(

Then you need PrecipitFX, that is the exact reason I bought it and it fixes it for me

LOL same! We could just make it rain... but where would the fun be in that?

Does anyone still have raindrops on the windscreen in the piston Duke after installing these effects?  I don't see the raindrops anymore.

Hummm, seems I had watched a video, or got reports that it was still there..  ??

I'll have to look into that more. The warp speed effect where it looks like all precip

comes from a single point ahead of you and looks like a cone, makes me grit my teeth.

I don't see how just a texture change could fix that, being it's hard wired into the sim.  ??

You sure it's not still there, and just less noticeable with the new textures?

Nope.. Because I had got reports, or saw a video, "forgot which", that said the warp speed

effect was still there.

 

EDIT.. I guess I was going by reports from another simmer who was mistaken..

I went and watched some videos on utoob, and it does seem like that

silly warp speed effect is gone. So I will probably spring for it, being that

looks to be the case.

 

Edit again.. I do notice that where the tip of the cone used to be, seems to be

mostly blanked out.. So you don't see much precip looking directly ahead, but

mostly on the sides, while looking forward. So I guess the cone may still be there

to some extent, but the tip is now blanked out for the most part. Still a pretty good

improvement would say..

It took care of mine, no more Star Trek for me.

Agreed, I've not noticed any "warp effect" since I installed, which is worth the price of admission alone!

When ASN causes rain in FSX I still do not get water splashing from the airplane wheels. Anyone else?
