How many clouds are on the FG sky with multiple overcast layers ? I'd say a thousand or even more - you'd need three floats for each (lon, lat, alt) = 4 bytes * 3 = 12 bytes, *1000 clouds = 12 kB - you might think that is very little, but - this is almost as much as the maximum MP packet size in FG (or even more ?), and it needs to be sent many times per seconds - for your internet connection it might be no problem to have 250 kB of traffic per sec, but the MP server has to be able to handle 100 pilots or more at a time - 25 MB per sec ! i guess you get it …
[quote="FoxtrotCC"]If your settings where low and you don´t have/see that visual trick, it rains on the outside and the planes animation & sound stops. Correct?/quote]
Almost - the rain on your windshield and the rain sound are independent from each other - you can disable sound and still see rain drops on your windows and vice-versa.
