Anybody use it with GA airplanes?  How's it do?

dx10 here...love precipit fx...no frame hit in fsx:se for me

[snapitbik 2]

Precipit FX   is fine with DX10 but for immersion 777 FPS hit on Cruise Flight over 34000.  Very Bad FPS hit to 5-7 FPS  try all method with disabling DX10 and Antianalising still no idea,

Just bought it Gregg.  About 12.86 USD with the rate from CAD.  I like it - subtle tire spray with winter textures etc, rain and snow especially look great.  There's also a prop spray like when some planes power up there's a blast of dust/snow etc.  I installed it to P3D haven't checked their yet.  I don't think they have precip effects done for P3D yet.  The falling snow looks awesome and the snow warp is gone  - flying through snow looks a lot more subtle.

 

DX9 Here no fps hit I can tell

Thank you all for your answers! 

 

I have decided to buy the product  

 

Thanks again 

 

If you have the PMDG 777 consider that one too.

I haven't seen an answer for the following:   Are all of these effects viewable from inside the VC or do they only appear when one's view is external?    (in particular when viewing AI aircraft.)

[ryanbatc 12,798]

You can see them inside but they're not on your windshield they're just effects

[FlyAndFight 37]

Thanks for the info Ryan.   

I think someone also answered as well in the other thread, where they stated that the only effects viewable from the VC are the rain/snow effects.  But the other effects happening on AI airplanes can only be viewed via external view.

Since most effects are for exterior view, would it be safe to assume no FPS loss in the VC? Also wondering if anyone has tried to uninstall the effects. Worse comes to worse, I'm a little worried about restoring backup aircraft.cfg files and such.
