Quick and easy question guys...For those who are lucky enough to have the retail version of FSX, are there raindrops visible in both 2D and VC modes?Thanks,Steve

Hey there,I just asked this very same question yesterday and was ignored by everybody in here. I would love to know the true answer or figure out a solution but everyone (even myself to some extent) is distracted by frame reate improvement in FSX that nobody cares about this yet. To answer your question, however, I have the retail deluxe version and I have no windshield rain effects visible in the VC. In the 2D I have not checked. I can go check that out real quick and get back to you. I know one thing though, I know that the effect and the textures are there to simulate this but as to why it doesn't show, I have no idea.Regards,Tony N.

Have the FSX Deluxe. No rain effects in 2D and VC. Maybe there's a way to activate them. Haven't found anything obvious though.

>Have the FSX Deluxe. No rain effects in 2D and VC. Maybe>there's a way to activate them. Haven't found anything obvious>though.Yes I have no effects either. matter of fact the snow looks like rain when falling

The vc raindrops appear in FSX (demo2) with imported FS9 aircraft.The FSX default aircraft seems that they are not designed incorporating this feature. (Maybe animated textures dont work well together with the new type of bump, reflective, etc textures ?? or they had just forgot to add them ???) We need an answer from aces about that...Korber

I'm bumping this because this is a very important omission in my opinion.

Roger thatNothing in the 2D Panel either I believe it was aces just deciding that the frames might already be low enough and adding extra effects wouldn't really help. Nevertheless, it would have been a good idea to have that as a checkbox in aircraft realism or something. Looking for a comment from ACES team or someone who knows how to add Windshield Rain Effects to aircraft.Regards,Tony N.

Does anyone know why this group is called 'Aces' when they are making incomplete, unuseable for most, programs?Is this a distortion like the word 'wicked' that now apparantly means 'good' to some?
