I never see any rain even if ATIS is reporting rain? Does anybody else experience the same thing?

I just did a small test where i set the Stormy weather theme and I did see some rain... Not much though.

 

I know the weather engine in XPX is not the best, but I don't recall it being this bad. It's been raining almost non-stop for a week where I live, but not a drop in XPX... Really killing the immersion.

 

BTW I'm using SkyMaxx Pro 2.0.

I've never had any rain depiction issues in X-Plane, with or without SkyMaxx. Rain isn't anywhere near as obvious as it is in FSX when you're stationary. However, when you're flying it can get quite intense.

 

AFAIK, SkyMaxx shouldn't have any effect on the rain, all it is is a cloud replacement application and nothing more.

It's not that I can't see rain at all. If you manually choose weather it's working just fine. The problem is when using real world weather and ATIS is reporting rain, then I see nothing?

 

I'm just curious to whether it's a XPX bug or if it's my install that is broken...

Have same problem with demo version. I have tried to reinstall but it didn't helped.

I tried with a clean install and the problem persisted, so I've filled a bug report with LR.

no problem with rain with downloaded weather you have to remember that XPX does its own interpretation of the weather so Im guessing that may be your problem.
