Water on runway seems to have dried up

I just noticed while sitting on the runway during a downpour that there are no rain or wet effects on it anymore. I am using DX10 with the Fixer and wondered if there was a setting I am missing?

Guess no one else has run across this problem.

I'm definitely getting wet runways using DX10 with the payware fixer.

I wonder what I have missed in the setup then?

I have this on some payware airports.

Some payware airports don't have wet looking runways because they use FS2002 ground polys which don't have reflective materials. If you make ground polys with FSX materials they can turn on reflections when its raining but ground polys with FSX materials will flicker. One workaround some devs use is to make the ground poly partially transparent and put default FSX runway underneath so that the reflections can show through the ground poly.

 

AFAIK P3D has fixed the flickering bug so devs don't have to build their scenery with ancient SDK tools.

Must be a global warming effect.
