Fans of PrecipitFX and aircraft-specific Immersion packs in FSX and P3D may be happy to see a blend of these arriving in MSFS once SU15 launches.

Parallel42 has created a 'A global "Visual Effects Utility" covering a range of immersive scenarios' with their upcoming SimFX add-on.

Various features to bring aircraft effects and their interaction with the environment into the sim world, while keeping performance impact low via 'Dynamic Performance Tuning'.

 

Personally, the price may seem a bit high (£25 incl. tax) and the effects aren't universal on all high-end/complex airliners (that's what the also upcoming Immersion Packs will be for). However, the effects created that little bit of extra realism for me in P3D and this add-on will be bringing more to the table this time round.

Super news - thanks for sharing.  

Excellent news!! For immersion packs will it be included for all aircrafts or will it be sold separately as was the case for FSX/P3D?

This add-on is not just a standalone enhancement; it also contains the foundation for our upcoming series of hand-crafted "Immersion Packs."

AIUI, this add-on (SimFX) will work with most user aircraft *with caveats*. For full functionality with a complex airliner, we would have to buy the specific Immersion Pack for the particular aircraft, just like we did in FSX/P3D times.

Edit: The PMDG 737 *is* fully compatible, unless it was purchased through the MSFS Marketplace due to encryption reasons.

Thank you! 🙂 

• All the effects we could do at a general scale, we've done in SimFX.
• All the effects that cannot be generalized and have to be tailored for each aircraft will be part of "Immersion Packages" on top of SimFX.

Chewwy94 has been using an early version on his streams the last couple days, the effects are neat.

I had PrecipitFX and addon packs purchased for most of my P3D addon airliners, have to see about this, looks mighty fine but i'll wait for the MSFS2024 to show up before making any purchases same way as i did with P3D, that was endless money pit because so many things were missing from the sim core itself  I just hope that this will not be the case with MSFS2024.

Hope for the best, fear for the worst 

 

Can't wait to get my hands on this. Love me some good effects and MSFS is sorely missing it.

As ever, amazing work by this crew.
