September 27, 20187 yr Quote The 3D rain drops on the windows like FS9 had In my opinion, the raindrops in Flight Unlimited 2 and 3 were light years ahead of anything that Microsoft ever gave us.

September 27, 20187 yr If LM would read those, then for them it is like to make new sim from scratch :-) Artur

September 27, 20187 yr Surprised I've not seen this from anyone else... Realistic turbo-prop and piston engine/prop modeling. Scott

AF2 stock default is no better (actually much more boring and bland) than P3D stock default, appearance wise or performance wise for me. AF2 needs to get a bunch more features before we wish for AF2 like performance. 🧐
September 27, 20187 yr Why does nobody talk about accurate crashes? Right now, it just pauses and you have no idea what happened If I were to crash on a flight, I'd like to see the crash play out and have some sort of reason of why it crashed. Aircraft overstressed? Like, did a wing fall off? Also, there's been times that I landed on my main gears, at landing speed, and still "crashed". Unfortunately, it just pauses and I have NO CLUE what happened. It would be nice if there was some sort of dialogue that lets me know precisely why I crashed Brian Laird Too tall to fly for real, so I sim instead i7 6700K | EVGA GTX1070 (8GB VRAM) | 16 GB DDR4 RAM | Asus Z170-A MoBo | HTC Vive | Saitek x52 Pro, Multi-panel and instrument panels Prepar3d v4 | Have but don't fly: FSX, FSW, XP11, FS2 (retired now that P3DV4 is out)

It would be nice if there was some sort of dialogue that lets me know precisely why I crashed I agree with this. Not sure if I'd consider it the most critical thing to add to a new version of P3D, but I am often surprised by the lack of talk regarding more accurate crash physics. I guess people think it's taboo? But a fully realistic flight simulator should embrace realism in all its forms. If you land a 757 hard enough, did the gear collapse? We don't really know, because the game will just consider it a "crash" and freeze frams. Game over. If the engine of your C172 fails over a forested area and you need to make a forced landing, wedging the plane between two trees at close to stall speed, was it survivable? Again, we don't know, because simply coming into contact with any tree is considered a crash. And like you say, if you overspeed the aircraft, do parts get lightly damaged, fall off, etc? No idea, because overstressing just results in a crash, and you're done. It's one of the reasons I like FSPassengers, and keep waiting for a P3D v4 update. Overstressing will actually damagr your flaps and gear. You can make belly landings. Crash landings in emergency situations (while not visually modelled) at least report the survivability of the situation.

September 27, 20187 yr Commercial Member 54 minutes ago, ErichB said: Performance And it is back on Since 4.2, and it is not true glass, any content developer can implement Directx scripts inside 3Dmax to have this rain effects done. The SDK has an example and there are some default airplanes already using it, of course if you are a very good Directx developer, you can do the same or better job as true glass by just follow the steps from the SDK. Conclusion, this is already there, it is just up to SimObject content developers to use it and enable it.

With that said, what PMDG and TFDi TrueGlass currently provide are outstanding ... but the default rain effects does exist in P3D V4.x (if you have been doing V4.x content updates as well as Client updates, then you might not be aware).
