PrecipitFX

Featured Replies

They were talking about PrecipitFX over on Orbx forums and I thought some folks over hear would find it interesting.  No windshield rain effects, unfortunately, but the rest looks pretty cool.  It's cheap ($13) and folks seem pleased.  No P3D version yet.

EDIT:  Thought I'd link the video for convenience...

Thanks for the link.

 

I'd love to see more footage of what this addon can do for GA aircraft. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

The one shot they show is pretty impressive.  I'd like to see it on some AI airplanes in Orbx-land.

Looks very similar to FSX default to me in the video link above

It looks nice at first glance

But I bet that experiencing this over and over again will get monotenous

 

Just like FSX, no variations worth mentioning...

I wonder how this looks from inside the cockpit. No screenshots from that point of view. After all what I care about most is improving the weather immersion from the pilot point of view. I have dreams about snow blowing across runways, and raindrops on the windshield like x-plane can do. Wish our friends at Lockheed could accelerate development in that area.

Looks very good, but would like to see it from the VC looking forward, day time , light rain and heavy.

Since I don't leave the VC all the above I wont see but does look very good.

 

What do we get from the VC view please.

PrecipitFX is a continuous improvement, they will keep releasing updates to make it better each. I know the co-founder personally and he reassured me that it's only gonna get better with time

I'd agree that he needs to make some videos from inside the cockpit for folks to see how it looks from a VC.  That's where you spend 95%+ of time.  Looks promising.

Did the first aircraft in the video take off with a wheel chock in place?

That's not wheel chock, that is a gravel kit. :) It's standard stuff on Alaska I think.

Interesting.  I have never noticed them in real life, even on flights to Prudoe Bay.
