Ice does indeed work on my side. Rain seems to be bugged here...

Same here. And since somebody suggested to fly into a rain shaft to get the effect: Of course I did. But no rain effect on the wind shield or side windows at all. Never.

Actually, if there is one thing I could say was pretty much spot on, it's the rain. Did a flight yesterday starting off in heavy rain/CB in the Zlin Shock Ultra,  and the weather depiction was utterly convincing, noise in the cockpit and visuals on the windscreen all really high fidelity. Amazing in fact, pretty much exactly like the real thing.

Guys (and Gals) if you think there is a problem please report it to Asobo/MS.

Rather than trying to find rain, you should just use one of the weather presets. I've had plenty of rain and rain effects, with or without weather presets.

I noticed at the outmost end of the Windshield (X Cub) some single droplets flashing. But still nothing ON the windshield itself or any noticable sound effect. hmmm....

Just checked but looked like it was working as intended....Maybe something bugged in the install or specific to planes?  I was in a Diamond DA40NG

Hi guys!

Is there a solution to the problem yet? 
I experienced the same things with the rain. 
When I take off in sunny weather and then fly into heavy rainshafts, there is absolutely no raindrops on the windshield.

When i'm starting with heavy rain conditions i have only light rain/raindrops on the windshield and above 60 kts it is completely disappears (or just a few small drops on the side window). 
It's very annoying. 
I'm using live weather. 

PS: when i switch to the Unreal Weather addon and it's inject the METAR, there is perfect rain representation on the windshield. 
But I prefer MSFS live weather due to cloud and cloud fronts visualization.

Same here. Still haven't found a fix/cause for this.

Have you got Windshield Effects set to HIGH/ ULTRA in the Graphics Section?

Yes 🙁

My default setting is HIGH, but I tried it with ULTRA and there is no change.

check while you are parked at an airport and select Rain preset. 

For a apples-to-apples comparison, try flying the Donegal high-wind landing challenge. Rain effects should be showing on the windshield and side windows.

Another one to try is the nexus weather preset download:

https://www.nexusmods.com/microsoftflightsimulator/mods/80

as a test , set it to scattered showers and see if you get rain flying with that.

Thank you, guys!

With Donegal challenge there is no problem. Correct raindrops on the windshield and on the side windows.
There was also no problem with the MSFS rain preset and with the nexus preset.
I flew even worse weather this afternoon (with live weather) than the Donega Challenge, and there was no raindrops at all.

I tried it with different planes (C152, G36, VL-3). 

The problem only occurs with live weather and ONLY with MSFS live weather.
As I mentioned, not with Unreal Weather.
Strange...
