FSX rain

[Splitpin]

Ive been trying to remove that bloody awful rain effect in fsx , but cant find a way. I found a post by Dan , sometime ago ... and i link to the avsim forum , but i cant get onto that link.
Any ideas ? ... you have to be honest , that effect is just horrible . Pity i couldn't put the train sim rain into fsx .

Thanks in advance.

Hi Maeti,

Are you on DX10?

If yes, this is the cure.

If not, follow these steps:

1.) Remove Rain.fx from ShadersHLSL\FixedFunction directory.
2.) Delete the Shader and Shader10 directory in Username/Appdata/Local/Microsoft/FSX (make backup first)
3.) Edit fsx.cfg - insert SHADER_CACHE_VERSION=X (where X is a number - always increment when rebuilding shaders) under [Graphics] subsection.

Rain and snow disabled...

If yes, this is the cure.

If not, use this (you have to be logged in to AVSIM).

Found a programme called precipitfx (google it) that is being developed & improved for rain and snow effects...
anyone tried this?

I use FSX with the DX9 settings, and just bought PrecipitFX a week or so ago. It does improve the rain and snow (and related) effects, making them more subtle and in my opinion, better. Check out their website:

You have to wonder why microsoft couldn't do what these guys have done.

A question comes to mind. Since this has been an FSX problem since the get-go, has P3D corrected it?
