Hi Nicolas,
I tried your patch and it is very impressing! Although an early stage
of work but I don't want to go back to the "old" rain display.
It was very funny, although there was a lot of bad weather here in
Germany recently, I could not find an airport with rain (nearby). So I
used the "Thunderstorm" scenario (day and night).
You are on the right way - another step forward for FlightGear.
Thank you very much, looking forward for further improvements :-)

Not here - I got wet.
Another one: sometimes the particles looked like rain, sometimes *a
little* like snow (especially at night).
This depends on the view (front or side view) and the flight-direction.
I know, this is an early development stage but I just want to make this
feed-back. Maybe you can make the particles a little smaller for rain?
But these observations depend all on the "thunderstorm" scenario. I am
still searching for an airport with "rain" METAR. And might be "snow",
should this already make a difference in the display???
