To me it seems like rain effects took a step backwards as opposed to a leap forward. This whole 2024 seems like it could have been DLC for FS2020 rather than a new game. Oh well.
I see no raindrops on the windshield, and the rain animations falling and hitting the ground looks like a cartoon to me. Are y'all having the same experience?
