Datarefs

[ksgy]

Hi

I'm currently building a simple rain effect on the L-410 and I bumped into a problem: when I'm using NOAA weather with SkyMaxx, and SkyMaxx draws rain/snow, the

rain_percent

dataref can be still 0, as SkyMaxx using a different source for clouds/precipitation

I'm wondering Is there a way to get the rain_percent or similar which is used by SkyMaxx?

Thanks in advance!

We actually do get the rain amount from sim/weather/rain_percent. Perhaps something else is going on?

We only render precipitation if the camera is actually underneath a cloud, which may be causing some confusion. But I don't think there's a case where we would draw precipitation if rain_percent is zero. Perhaps X-Plane is setting this dataref back to what it thinks it should be as soon as you're trying to override it.

That's really weird, I'm not overriding the rain_percent... maybe the NOAA plugin? I'll have a look without the plugin loaded and see if does something funky

Thanks for the clarification!
