The rain isn't all that different, but the snow is better.

Have they eradicated the time tunnel effect when heading directly into snow from the cockpit view.

Well, the bottom picture is an in-flight picture and you have individual "flakes".

The "rain" does look somewhat better. But if you pause it to get a picture you get the streaks shown. Even the act of taking the picture, without pausing, will show those streaks. So on that one, the rain, I'd say it's not as improved as I would want it to be.

When you NEED to run the windshield wipers, THEN it'll be right. :D


One thing to remember is that the 64bit version is new. Improvements will come. LM didn't "Rush this out the door", there are genuine improvements.

There are enough improvements to say that THIS ONE is definitely worth the money.

The old version, V3, was actually better than FSX.

But this one is MUCH better. The fact that I can now fly over New York City X with the settings near maxed out, and NOT have an OOM crash is more than good enough. The rest will just be icing on the cake.
