Had an idea. Have you guys at dovetail thought about planting some rain mist from afar. And actually headed in that direction to go right into in train sim world.
Seems like that would be an issue on memory and rendering long distance, kinda like how far shadows and scenery can extend within view, if it could be done then great, but it may be a question on what get’s sacrificed for that to happen and is it worth it.
Has this been done yet in a PC sim (non-scripted)? Such a weather engine? Haven't seen such downbursts yet in any sim (you could do some bitmap trickery though...) I don't think you'll get that anytime soon. This would be more something for another company, creating a weather engine middleware and licensing it. (Like SunDog did with SilverLining, which is used in Run8 and TSC as alternative environment to TimeOfDay.) Flight Sims will probably be pioneering next gen weather engines.
