Really nice to see you guys enjoying these features! Work started on them back in August last year - so it's great to see them being used after all this time

Is the illuminated rain drops default to the fslabs or is it tomato? Looks astonishing

It's the reflection using the tomato profiles downloaded from the forum.

Let's see what pbr brings to the table. Might get interesting. I hope the hype is real. I have no experience with pbr.

Anyone care to guess where MMFD is?

How is it possible to "improve" this even further?

Exactly the same what I thought when starting it up for the first time.

I'm guessing its nearly ready then!

All of you with raindrops on your VC, did you have to activate something? Because I don't have any raindrops on my windshield on the latest update for some reason?

STALKER!

looks like some powdered sugar. this was just a test using in sim weather set to heavy snow. it took 1 or two seconds or so to load the snow on the fuselage. engine temp was 10 Celsius due to the GPU on state.

 

More shameless Tavers advertising

Not the best views today on our flight from EDDS to LEPA

One thing I have always found strange about the FSL before, and now sadly still after the 'model update'...How can anyone think this overly pronounced line is realistic? 

It is in the default paintkit, and it exists in the model too, so even when I tried removing it in the respective texture files, it would still be there. 

 

I just don't see why anyone creating the model and the paintkit would happily accept such an inaccurate depiction of a minor visual feature and let it ruin the aesthetics of the entire aircraft?

(brand new paint uploaded today)

 

Through my job in ramp handling I've been up close with MSNs both brand new and 'how can this thing still fly' - old. Never have I noticed this detail even remotely as striking as in the FSL.  

Of course, it is there - on more beaten airframes, like early EIS1s, you might actually notice it! On newer birds, it takes some pretty over the top post processing to make it visible, like I did in this image: https://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/657076/d-abzf-air-berlin-airbus-a320/

And in some cases, even heavy post-processing, increasing the contrast and pushing the details, doesn't cut it: https://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/646912/d-agwf-germanwings-airbus-a319/

 

So yeah, it exists, and the fuselage is probably sewn together along that line in some way, but the way it is modelled makes me wonder if any real A320 was used as a reference at all.

Look here. looks really good to me

It is NOT in the model. It is in the bump texture which you can happily edit. 

If you wish, you can make it disappear completely.

Some but not all painters iron it out a little.

I'll add this to the list of things I can re-adjust and tweak after each update (=reinstall)...
