Thanx Martin for you reply! I looked on pc7 - so good but you understand that it's simple texture scrolled over cabin. The main problem for fgfs - refuse to use shaders and over cool things and we have not state-of-the-art rendering for uor super flight dynamics. I don't want to offend you but it's true. to my rain simulation: thing i've done - blur OTW view based on distance (render to texture and then gaussian blur on fragment shader ) looks good but haven't seen rain drops. to simulate it I deside to use particle system that will be connected to aircraft. Thanx Dave for your observations I try to implement it. But I think the main problem will be simulate drops on wind screen and windscreen wipers. My question here: When does pilots use them(whipers)? only on take-off and landing or on route too? Thanx in advance Bye
