As always, top notch video production.

But I am now stuck between a rock and the same place. I will go back to v3 for now and see how things play out between FSW and P3D. XP will always be on my radar, but they dont seem to listen to us much.

And still no damn rain effects on the VC. Let me ask this, will 64 BIT allow the developers to build this into the sim? I mean for crying out loud, Ifly had it on FS9. How is it that till today we have no rain effects with all these advances? At this point i'm going to set a fan and spray water in front of the monitor.

Rain effects can easily be put in by the aircraft developer. I have them in the FSW Lear35A and some others. My guess is that LM will leave that alone and let the add on dev's handle it.

Thats a flawed process and expectation. Water exists in the world no matter what, correct? So to introduce variability in that world by having some planes include it and some not and then worrying about if its good rain or not is not ideal. Its just a big miss no matter how you look at it.

But again, we have to remind ourselves that LM isnt in it for us, the eye candy folks. That seems to be DTG's ambition.

FSW?........pfffftttttt

I thought the release nots said rain/snow effects?  

[whoispankaj 51]

Will this remove the number of animations limit which developers have been complaining about?
