No rain lines in external view ufter su5
Hi guys…have you noticed that the rain in external view is no more visible…it’s visible only the interaction of droplets with terrain…before su5 we could see the lines of rain in external view
Edit…I think it’s good as it is…some line of rain is visible with the light of airplane on

Hi there, since I am in a low to mid end graphics card I’ve lowered a lot of the MSFS graphical settings, but since I enjoy flying in rain a lot, I know that in cockpit view the windscreen effects is what affecting my rain effect experience, but how about the external camera? seems that only rain splash on the ground is visible but no rain drops falling in the air in that view, any suggestion on what setting would make it appear?
Rain effects are kind of messed up in last update. The windows used to look super cool with rain, now the rain is inside the windows inside the cockpit. its like a kid that can’t stay inside the lines with a coloring book.
As long as your windshield rain effects are on at a high enough level, you will see the rain effects. But they are ruined as of last update.
seems so, but is the external camera also ruined? coz now in external camera there’s no rain visible at all which is my main concern, in the cockpit view I use ultra setting which is fine

Brief description of the issue:
Sorry I am new here if this is in the wrong place. My rain particles (the lines) do not show unless I have all the lights on and am not in external view, as you can see though, you only really see them better the darker it is. Has my game decide to break?

Same result with and without
Brief description of the issue:
Nearby raindrops no longer get shown outside direct light. They used to be lit up by ambient light as shown below. This loses some of the effect of rainy weather. In real life you can see them in daylight.

Hello, i mean in the air, like if you look at my screenshots there are no lines as the rain is falling but only splashes on the ground. However in front of a aircraft light and i also recently noticed when there is a flash of lightning you do see lines for a moment.
This leaves me to believing this is a lighting bug and issues and i dont know how we let the developers know.
Aha, I get you! There is a technical term for it I’m sure but you’re exactly right. So, we’re talking visual rain fall, i.e. from the sky, the effect itself of rain falling.
First glance, could be something to do with transparency being too high within a texture setting, possibly for fps reasons. This would tie in with SU5 round about when the Xbox version was released.
That does sound right, i wonder if ine could manually change the file that does this texture as i would be happy to change it myself haha. I am a weather nut so this bothers me a lot
If you’re still experiencing this problem, I landed in Frankfurt over the weekend, raining cats and dogs and visible rainfall has returned! Any joy with yourself? I did recently update my GPU driver before Christmas so not sure if it had something to do with that.
Hi everyone. When I select the external view and it’s raining I don’t see rain drops when I’m outside. I go into the cockpit and it’s storming raindrops. Any thoughts if there’s a fix?
Settings are ultra.
Hmmmm. I see “rain” in the air on my external view, and I see rain-effects on my canopy (although no real rain hitting it, per se). I don’t see rain actually hitting any part of my plane either.
I don’t think I have any particular setting related to this. It’s just how it’s shown for quite a while now.
The second screenshot is not so great, but I do see rain hitting the ground (small splatters). It’s much more obvious in the live screen than this grab.
But in general, outside views of rain are not as effective as it appears from inside the plane.
Regards
I’m not saying it’s not possible but IMO currently the coding would likely be cumbersome with a sizable fps drop. One for the future, possibly with a video engine upgrade.

Brief description of the issue:
Rain is clearly visible from the cockpit looking at the glass and on the ground.
but the rain drops are not visible when in external view.
just the tiny drops on the ground.
not sure if this is intended now or not.
I think I remember seeing the rain drops before in < SU11
