This is the first version I have taken a look at (v5) so I'm not entirely
sure what to expect. When sitting on the ground in KSAN (METAR says rain
and high winds) it looks like rain is coming straight down as if there was
no wind, but it looks like perhaps some snow mixed in that is affected by
the wind. But the temps I think are too high for snow on the ground there
(+53F/12C). Also, when the aircraft moves forward the precipiation still
looks like it's coming straight down ... it doesn't seem to factor in the
motion of the aircraft? Is that still a todo item, or am I doing something
wrong? Overall this looks like it has a trememdous amount of potential so
I'm not trying to nit pick, just curious what I should or shouldn't be
seeing at this point in the development.
Thanks!
Curt.
