October 24, 20178 yr I remember seeing Keven talk about this at Cosford. Free effects files for P3D V4 and above! https://fsfxpackages.com/en/free/ Video here Edited October 24, 20178 yr by Ebs Added YouTube link Neil Andrews. Fight or Flight - YouTube | Twitter

October 24, 20178 yr Commercial Member I've been using this for about 4 or 5 months, no performance impact on my systems so long as VSync is turned on, and with VSync on there is only a little performance impact (and then only for the time when structures are being lit up. It's a winner. Dave Hodges System Specs: I9-13900KF, NVIDIA 4070TI, Quest 3, Multiple Displays, Lots of TERRIFIC friends, 3 cats, and a wonderfully stubborn wife.

October 25, 20178 yr Well, I'm confused. My installation of P3d V4.1 doesn't have any of the fx_cloud_lightning.fx files in its Effects subfolder, only one fx_plane_lightning.fx and the rest are just numbered fx_lightning0<N>.fx. NM, I found them.
October 25, 20178 yr Looks really nice! I wonder if these guys also will be able to make the rain look like rain again rather than snow. I remember how they did that with PrecipitFX in earlier versions but P3Dv4 seems to be a different beast to tame.

October 25, 20178 yr We also have to wait for what the guys over at TOGA will come up with. Let's see who will give us realistic rain in P3Dv4 first
October 25, 20178 yr Can anyone confirm that this works with Active Sky? :) PC- AMD Ryzen 7800X3D, 64gb 6400mhz RAM, Nvidia RTX4090

Improves rain significantly. Just remember to disable "Detailed Precipitation" within the sim. https://fsfxpackages.com/en/PrecipitFX/ 1 hour ago, snapshot21 said: Can anyone confirm that this works with Active Sky? :) I have just downloaded the effects and will test them later with ASP4 but I see no reason why it should not work with the weather engine. You just replace effect files. Regards, Chris -- PC: Intel 13900K, Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090, 64GB Fury Beast DDR5 RAM; Display: Varjo Aero VR

Just remember to disable "Detailed Precipitation" within the sim. Yep, this is an option but as discussed before that will also get rid of the now very realistic snow in P3Dv4. Sure, you can enable/disable the setting depending on the current weather situation but would be even better if you didn't have to but we could have realistic rain also with that new option enabled. Let's hope LM or some of the 3rd party guys will find a fix to accomplish that!

It says default so I hope it works with ones created by active sky :) PC- AMD Ryzen 7800X3D, 64gb 6400mhz RAM, Nvidia RTX4090
October 25, 20178 yr Hi snapshot21, I've tried setting the Wheather in "Major Thunderstom" and lighting produced on buildings and airplanes in the apt works well with Dynamic Lighting activated. As for ASP4, I would like to point out the site "blitzortung" where real-time flashlight activity is shown in the world. There are currently lightning strikes in the Atlantic along the US coast, Australia and the Mediterranean Sea between Libya and Greece.
