Indeed, the rain in hawx is not doing anything, you cannot even feel the wind blowing your plane away.
But you almost feel wet and cold when playing the bad weather levels, and it certainly adds to the gameplay.

Exactly! LOL maybe what I'm looking for, now that I think about it, just personally, is not necessarily just weather effects, but HDR as well--so taking "Dynamic Lighting" to the next level. I love (speaking of HAWX again) free-flying around Rio de Janeiro with all of the effects on...sure it eats my PC for lunch, but it looks so pretty...

Well said definitely we have to take all safety measure to deal with weather.


Pakistan Weather

I already developed this programmatically in TPS.
The Weather Plugin.
But even if it was a great plugin, players used to switch it off, cause if it don't modify the physics, is useless.

You can see the video here if you don't remember it.
