February 24, 20197 yr Anybody using PrecipitFX from OldProp Solutions..?? The default P3D rain and snow wheel spray effects seem pretty bad and not very realistic to me, and apparently PrecipitFX can address that... https://oldprop.com/sim/precipitfx/ Would love to hear from any of you who are using PrecipitFX...😎 Scott
February 24, 20197 yr As far as I can tell apart from wingtip vortex on aircraft with flexible wings it's good. I still use it but I have wing tip vortex disabled. Oh and Old Prop don't give a rats behind about that! Just sayin' Edited February 24, 20197 yr by Guest
February 24, 20197 yr Author Thanks for the reply Dave. How would you describe the rain and snow wheel spray effects with PrecipitFX compared to the default effects..?? The default P3D rain/snow wheel spray effects just seem somewhat unrealistic to me, even when you are taxiing at low speeds on a wet or snowy runway it's like the wheels or brakes have gotten overheated, and are smoking badly... I'd also be interested to hear about the jet wash effects if you have any comment on those..?? Anyway, PrecipitFX is very reasonably priced, so I may just give it a try.

February 24, 20197 yr I have just the base effects. Worth it for the snow and rain viewing from the cockpit alone. The rest our good and it's update often. Support which I only used once has been excellent.  | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |  Â

February 24, 20197 yr Sorry to hijack the thread but does Envtech integrate well with REX4 textures with soft clouds.? Or do I need to let that go and get SF4 of ACSA instead? Edited February 24, 20197 yr by Guest

Or do I need to let that go and get SF4 of ACSA instead? I use Envtech for there sky textures as there the best for giving real colours for the time season and location within ASCA. That’s the only part of ASCA I use, ASP4 for weather and SF for clouds and cloud structures. Many prefer ASCA for clouds but I find them harsh and Rex soft clouds are to me the best looking. So I use Envtech/ASCA/SF with ASP4 all together.

February 25, 20197 yr Author Guys, I don't want to throw a wet towel on the Envtech fan club, I honestly just wanted to know if the wheel spray and jet wash effects that come with PrecipitFX are an improvement over the P3DÂ default effects... Thanks. Scott
February 25, 20197 yr I don't recomend PreciptFX nowadays, the detailed rain and snow of P3D v4 are WAY much better than what it delivers. As to wing vortex condensation it doesn't align and they don't fix it, so I just disable it. As to other effects to me they're pretty useless. Best regards, Wanthuyr Filho Instagram: AeroTacto
