No rain in thunderstorms with Active sky XP

I am currently sitting in thunderstorms but the rain is not visible like it should be. Are my settings correct? This is coming off of a fresh reinstall.

If you start up AXSP after SMP has already started drawing the scene, it can take a few minutes before it will pick up the new weather conditions coming in from ASXP. To force it, try changing the cloud draw area setting in SMP and that should cause it to pick up the new conditions.

Just tried this in Orlando (MCO) where there are thunderstorms right now and experienced the same thing; increasing the cloud draw area caused it to pick up the storms, but normally it would do it automatically after a couple of minutes or if you were to fly out of the area.

One other thing to keep in mind is that by default, SMP will only draw rain if you're actually underneath an individual rain cloud. If your plane happens to be in between clouds, no rain will be represented.
