Hi,I find that wet runways/taxiways really hurt my fps. I'm running a Radeon X1950 Pro. Is there anyway to turn them off when it rains?

You can disable the shader effects. I think that will do it.You have an ATI card, but I think the procedure is the same. You can either: 1) use a tweaking app to disable Shader 2.0., or2) edit your DISPLAY.CFG file.Regarding #2, do a search of the term, "Shader" and "disable" and it will get into great detail about how to do it with ATI.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian
